Do burdens oppress you

August 11

Do burdens oppress you?
Do sorrows distress you?
Let Jesus His pardon bestow.
His lifeblood He gave you
To ransom and save you:
Believe it-God says it is so.

Fear not the rough tossing,
Your Jordan now crossing,
Press on at His word of command;
Trust Him for the blessing,
And, Canaan possessing,
Go up and inherit the land.

His storehouse o’erfloweth,
And ever He knoweth
The yearning desires of each heart;
Your need cannot measure
The wealth of the treasure
He freely to all will impart.

The promises pleading,
Whatever you’re needing,
You’re certain from Him to receive;
Forever He liveth,
And, like a king, giveth
To all who will trust and believe.

Chorus
Believe it, receive it,
And seek His salvation to know;
Don’t wait till you feel it,
But trust and receive it:
Believe it-God says it is so.
