Lyrics

Jesus commands you to go today
And lighten another’s care;
Point them to Him as the Light, the Way,
He’ll always the bur­den share.

Refrain

Lighten a care,
Tell Him in prayer;
Jesus sends happiness ev­ery­where,
And lightens His children’s care.

Jesus will give you the victor’s power,
So lighten another’s care;
Give you a blessing each coming hour
And help you the cross to bear.

Refrain

Draw from the fountain of boundless grace,
And lighten another’s care;
Walk in the light of the Sav­ior’s face,
Inherit a mansion fair.
