Lyrics:

How gentle God's commands
How kind his precepts are!
Come, cast your burdens down
And trust his constant care.

Beneath his watchful eye
His saints securely dwell.
Oh haste to His throne
And sweet refreshment find.
Why should this anxious load
Press down your mind?
He who bears all
Shall guard you well.

His goodness stands approved,
Unchanged from day to day.
I'll drop my burden at His feet
And bear a song away.
