UNDER the burdens of guilt and care,
Many a spirit is grieving,
Who in the joy of the Lord might share,
Life everlasting receiving.
Life! life! eternal life!
Jesus alone is the Giver:
Life! life! abundant life!
Glory to Jesus forever!

Burdened one, why will you longer bear
Sorrows from which He releases?
Open your heart, and rejoicing, share
Life more abundant in Jesus.
3
Leaving the mountain, the streamlet grows,
Flooding the vale with a river;
So, from the hill of the Cross there flows
Life more abundant forever.
4
Oh, for the floods on the thirsty land!
Oh, for a mighty revival!
Oh, for a sanctified, fearless band,
Ready to hail its arrival!
