Reject the Burden

Reject the burden of all earthly solace

Put from your heart the claims of home and wife

Does your child hunger? Give unto a stranger

The bread that once would feed that little life.Humble yourself to be the meanest servant

Of your worst enemy and learn to call

The brute beast of the forest-ways your brother;

And ask of God nothing, nothing at all.Reject the burden of all earthly solace

And ask of God nothing, nothing at all.
