There is no sorrow, Lord, too light

1

There is no sorrow, Lord, too lightTo bring in prayer to thee;There is no anxious care too slightTo wake thy sympathy.

2

Thou who hast trod the thorny roadWilt share each small distress;The love which bore the greater loadWill not refuse the less.

3

There is no secret sigh we breatheBut meets thine ear divine,And every cross grows light beneathThe shadow, Lord, of thine.

4

Life's ills without, sin's strife within,The heart would overflow,But for that love which died for sin,That love which wept with woe.
