1. On a desert wild and lonely,
Where no hope I dared to claim,
I was troubled, sad, and lonely,
When the Burden Bearer came,
(Chorus) Christ the Burden Bearer came,
Hallelujah to His name!
All my sins He rolled away,
Now rejoicing ev’ry day,
I am trusting in my Savior’s precious love.
2. On a desert wild and lonely,
How He gently said to me;
“I have purchased thy Salvation,
I have borne the cross for thee.”
3. Praise to Him whose grace redeemed me
From the death that never dies;
I will tell the blessed story,
When I meet Him in the skies.
