Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #81 (2011) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal First Line: How gentle God's commands! Lyrics: 1 How gentle God’s commands!
How kind His precepts are!
Come, cast your burdens on the Lord,
And trust His constant care.
2 While Providence supports,
Let saints securely dwell;
That hand which bears all nature up
Shall guard His children well.
3 Why should this anxious load
Press down your weary mind?
Haste to your heavenly Father’s throne,
And sweet refreshment find.
4 His goodness stands approved,
Down to the present day:
I’ll drop my burden at His feet,
And bear a song away. Topics: God the Father His Presence; God Providence; Peace Scripture: 1 Peter 5:7 Languages: English Tune Title: DENNIS
