You who are burdened

You who are burdened, toil and sweat,
Longing for rest but all in vain.

Be not afraid of sacrifice,
Be not afraid in front of death,
Lift up your eyes to Jesus Christ,
Cry out to him and never despair.

All you that slip on the way and fall,
Hearts wounded deep and full of woe.

All you that weep in prison cells,
People who flee from home and kin.

All you whom strife has torn apart,
People whom one has crucified.
