493. Casting All Your Care Upon Jesus

1 O blessed rest, when we recline
On never failing pow'r divine,
God's mighty arms enfolding us,
The arms that hold the universe!

Chorus:
Casting all your care upon Jesus,
Casting all your care upon Jesus,
Casting all your care upon Jesus,
For He careth, He careth for you.

2 Almighty strength! but stronger yet
The love that cannot us forget;
Unfathom'd ocean, calm and broad!
Amazing mercy of our God! [Chorus]

3 Beyond the mountain peaks that rise
Above the clouds and pierce the skies,
Look up! the highest wonderful see,
God's love that fills eternity. [Chorus]

4 Who trusts His word hath clearest sight,
Who trusts His pow'r hath greatest might;
Who trust His love doth never bear
The heart of doubt, the brow of care. [Chorus]

5 Man faileth man in trouble's hour,
As fails at noon the feeble flow'r.
Who trusts in God, here and afar
Shines on, tho' faileth sun and star. [Chorus]
