To the Bearer of Men's Burdens

Lord Jesus, Bearer of men's burdens, Comforter of the sorrowful, we would bring to thee all whose hearts are sad.

Help us mediate thy strengthening sympathy to others, but grant we may be so continually refreshed by our companionship with thee that we may not be crushed by the world's burdens.

Thou art the burden bearer - not we. Thou alone, O Christ, canst in thy strong heart carry the woes of the world.

In this faith, teach us to do our duty day by day as we see it to be thy will, and save us from the depression of those who try to carry more than man was made to bear, and ever to look to thee, O Lamb of God who bearest the sins of the world.

Amen
