Cast thy burden on the Lord,
Lean thou only on His Word;
Ever will He be thy stay,
Though the heavens shall melt away.
Ever in the raging storm,
Thou shalt see His cheering form;
Hear His pledge of coming aid:
“It is I; be not afraid.”
Cast Thy burden of His feet,
Linger near His mercy seat;
He will lead thee by the hand
Gently to the better land.
He will gird thee by His power,
In the weary, fainting hour;
Lean thou strong upon His Word,
Cast thy burden on the Lord.
---Alternative verses---
He will gird thee by His power,
In the weary, fainting hour;
Lean, then, loving, on His Word,
Cast thy burden on the Lord.
