722. Cast thy burden on the Lord

1 Cast thy burden on the Lord;
Lean thou only on his word:
Ever will he be thy stay,
Though the heavens shall pass away.

2 Ever in the raging storm
Thou shalt see his cheering form,
Hear his pledge of coming aid;
"It is I be not afraid."

3 Cast thy burden at his feet;
Linger near his mercy-seat;
He will lead thee by the hand
Gently to the better land.

4 He will gird thee by his power,
In thy weary, fainting hour;
Lean, then, loving on his word;
Cast thy burden on the Lord.
