How Gentle God's Commands

Author: Phillip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #17 (1957) Topics: God the Father His Care and Guidance 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 Beneath His watchful eye His 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, Unchanged from day to day: I'll drop my burden at His feet, And bear a song away. Amen.
