Trouble will soon be over, sorrow will have an end Trouble will soon be over, sorrow will have an end Christ is my burden bearer He's my only friend I tell him all my sorrows He tells me to lean on him God is my strong protector He's my bosom friend If trouble arise all around me I know who'll take me in He proved a friend to David He hid him in a cave The same God that David served Will give me rest someday Though my burden may be heavy It may even crush me down Some day I'll rest with Jesus And wear a starry crown I'll take this yoke upon me And live a Christian life I'll take Jesus for my saviour My burden will be light Trouble will soon be over, sorrow will have an end Trouble will soon be over, sorrow will have an end
