Hymn
Cast Thy Burden on the Lord
Cast thy burden on the Lord,
Only lean upon His Word;
Thou wilt soon have cause to bless
His unchanging faithfulness.
He sustains thee by His hand,
He enables thee to stand;
Those, whom Jesus once hath love,
From His grace are never moved.
Cast thy burden at His feet;
Linger at His mercy-seat;
He will lead thee by the hand
Gently to the better land.
He will gird thee by His pow'r,
In thy weary, fainting hour:
Lean, then, loving, on His Word;
Cast Thy burden on the Lord.
Heav'n and earth may pass away,
God's free grace shall not decay;
He hath promised to fulfill
All the pleasure of his will.
Jesus! guardian of Thy flock,
Be Thyself our constant rock;
Make us by Thy pow'rful hand,
Firm as Zion's mountain stand.
