Cast Thy Burden On The Lord

Composer: Davide Marney, 1995
Lyricist: Anon. in Rowland Hill's Psalms and Hymns, 1783
 
Cast thy burden on the Lord 
Only lean upon His word;
Thou wilt soon have cause to  bless  
His eternal faithfulness.  
 
He sustains thee by His hand 
He enables thee to stand;
Those whom Jesus once hath loved 
From His grace are never moved.  
 
Human counsels come to naught;
That shall stand which God hath wrought;
His compassion, love, and pow'r 
Are the same for evvermore.  
 
Heav'n and earth may pass away,
God's free grace shall not decay;
He hath promised to fulfill 
All the pleasure of His will.  
 
Jesus, Guardian of thy flock, 
Be thyself our constant rock;
Make us, by thy pow'rful hand, 
Strong as Zion's mountain stand.
