Cast thy care on Jesus,
make him now thy friend,
tell him all thy troubles,
trust him to the end;
he is man and brother,
he is Lord and God,
and the way of sorrows
is the path he trod.
Cast thy care on Jesus,
nothing is too small
for his vast compassion;
he can feel for all;
in the gloom and darkness
clasp his living hand,
he will guide and cheer thee
through the desert land.
Cast thy care on Jesus,
tell him all thy sin,
all thy fierce temptations
and the wrong withing;
he himself was tempted,
and he pleads above
for the soul that asketh
pardon through his love.
Cast thy care on Jesus,
what is death to those
who in deep submission
on his love repose?
But a short step further,
nearer to his side,
where thine eyes shall see him
and be satisfied.
