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 eternal faithfulness.

He sustains thee by His hand,

He enables thee to stand;

Those whom Jesus once hath loved

From His grace are never moved.

Human counsels come to naught;

That shall stand which God hath wrought;

His compassion, love, and power,

Are the same forevermore.

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 powerful hand,

Strong as Zion's mountain stand.
