Laboring and Heavy Laden

Verse 1

Laboring and heavy laden, Wanting help in time of need, Fainting by the way from hunger, "Bread of life!" on Thee we feed.

Verse 2

Thirsting for the springs of waters That, by love's eternal law, From the stricken rock are flowing, "Well of life!" from Thee we draw.

Verse 3

In the land of cloud and shadow, Where no human eye can see, Light to those who sit in darkness, "Light of life!" we walk in Thee.

Verse 4

Thou the grace of life supplying, Thou the crown of life wilt give; Dead to sin, and daily dying, "Life of life!" in Thee we live.
