| Text: | "He careth" |

| Arranger: | fr. H. G. Nageli |
1 How gentle God's commands!
How kind his precepts are!
Come, cast your burdens on the Lord,
And trust his constant care.
2 Beneath his watchful eye
His saints securely dwell;
That hand which bears creation 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,
Unchanged from day to day:
I'll drop my burden at his feet,
And bear a song away.
