On a desert wild and lonely, Where no hope I dared to claim, I was troubled, sad and lonely, When the Burden Bearer came. Refrain Christ the Burden Bearer came, Hallelujah to His Name! All my sins He rolled away, Now rejoicing every day, I am trusting in the Savior???s precious love. On a desert wild and lonely, How He gently said to me, ???I have purchased thy salvation, I have borne the cross for thee.??? Refrain Praise to Him whose grace redeemed me, From the death that never dies; I shall tell the bless??d story, When I meet Him in the skies. Refrain
