CAST THY BURDEN ON THE LORD

Words Anon. in Rowland Hill's "Psalms and Hymns", 1783
Music by Davide C. Marney, 1995

Cast thy bur-den on the Lord
On-ly lean up-on His word;
Thou wilt soon have cause to bless
His e-ter-nal faith-ful-ness.

He sus-tains thee by His hand
He en-a-bles thee to stand;
Those whom Je-sus once hath loved
From His grace are ne-ver moved.

Hu-man coun-sels come to naught;
That shall stand which God hath wrought;
His com-pas-sion, love, and pow'r
Are the same for ev-ver-more.

Heav'n and earth may pass a-way,
God's free grace shall not de-cay;
He hath pro-mised to ful-fill
All the pleas-ure of His will.

Je-sus, Guard-ian of thy flock,
Be thy-self our con-stant rock;
Make us, by thy pow'r-ful hand,
Strong as Zi-on's moun-tain stand.
