Cast Thy Burden on the Lord
Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 187 hymnals First Line: Cast thy burden on the Lord, Only lean upon His word Lyrics: 1 Cast thy burden on the Lord,
Only lean upon His Word;
Thou wilt soon have cause to bless
His eternal faithfulness.
2 He sustains thee by His hand,
He enables thee to stand;
Those whom Jesus once hath loved
From His grace are never moved.
3 Human counsels come to naught;
That shall stand which God hath wrought;
His compassion, love, and power,
Are the same for evermore.
4 Heaven and earth may pass away,
God’s free grace shall not decay;
He hath promised to fulfill
All the pleasure of His will.
5 Jesus, Guardian of Thy flock,
Be Thyself our constant Rock;
Make us, by Thy powerful hand,
Strong as Zion’s mountain stand.
Amen.

Cast Thy Burden on the Lord
In The Floods Of Tribulation
Author: Samuel Pearce, 1766-1799 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In the floods of tribulation,
While the billows o’er me roll;
Jesus whispers consolation,
And supports my fainting soul.
Thus the lion yields me honey;
From the eater food is giv’n;
Strengthened thus, I still press forward,
Singing as I wade to Heav’n:
Sweet affliction! sweet affliction,
That brings Jesus to my soul!
2 ’Mid the gloom, the vivid lightnings
With increasèd brightness play;
’Mid the thorn brake, beauteous flowers
Look more beautiful and gay;
So in darkest dispensations,
Doth my faithful Lord appear,
With His richest consolations,
To reanimate and cheer:
Sweet affliction! sweet affliction,
Thus to bring my Savior near.
3 Floods of tribulation heighten,
Billows still around me roar;
Those who know not Christ—ye frighten;
But my soul defies your power.
In the sacred page recorded,
Thus His word securely stands—
"Fear not, I’m in trouble near thee,
Naught shall pluck thee from My hands";
Sweet affliction! sweet affliction,
That to words so sweet lays claim!
4 All I meet I find assist me
In my path to heav’nly joy;
Where, though trials now attend me,
Trials never more annoy;
Wearing there a crown of glory,
Still the path I’ll ne’er forget;
This shall be my pleasant story,
When arrived at Jesus’ seat:
Sweet affliction! Sweet affliction
Brought me to my Savior’s feet! Used With Tune: CHICAGO

Lift Up Thine Eyes, O Watchman
Author: Fanny Crosby Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lift up thine eyes, O watchman,
the armies of the Lord
Are riding forth to conquest
with buckler, shield and sword;
Glad tidings unto Zion,
that valiant host shall ring,
And shout aloud, Hosanna!
The Lord, the Lord is king;
And shout aloud, Hosanna!
The Lord, the Lord is king.

What dost thou see afar?
The gleaming of a banner,
the rising of a star.
Then cry aloud, O watchman,
with trumpet voice proclaim,
To all a full salvation,
through Christ, the Savior’s name,
To all a full salvation,
through Christ, the Savior’s name.
3. That radiant banner gleaming,
that Star divinely bright,
Shall bear to every nation
the blessèd Gospel light;
All kingdoms, crowns, and scepters,
before the cross shall fall,
And Christ shall reign triumphant,
the king and Lord of all;
And Christ shall reign triumphant,
the king and Lord of all. Used With Tune: ROSEPINE

What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my Guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.
2 All the way my Savior leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread,
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living Bread.
Though my weary steps may falter
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.
3 All the way my Savior leads me,
Oh, the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way;
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way. Scripture: Revelation 7:17 Used With Tune: [All the way my Savior leads me] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/All_the_Way_My_Savior_Leads_Me); The Cyber Hymnal (http://www.hymntime.com/tch/htm/a/l/altheway.htm)
All the Way My Savior Leads Me
Savior, Lead Me
Author: Mary A. Adams Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Gently lead me, O my Savior Refrain First Line: May I trust Thee fully, wholy Lyrics: 1 Gently lead me, O my Savior,
Thro’ the wilderness of life;
Grant that all the light and shadows,
All the joy and all the strife,
Each may bring me closer to Thee;
Nearer to Thy loving side;
May I trust Thee fully, wholly,
Saying, Lord, with Thee abide.
Refrain:
May I trust Thee fully, wholly,
Lead me to my heav’nly home.
2 O the depth of mortal anguish!
O the sorrow and the woe!
Nothing but a gloomy future
Yawns before me as I go;
On the lonely, weary journey
Of my life from day to day;
Yet, dear Lord, Thou’lt not forsake me;
Wilt Thou, Savior, lead the way? [Refrain]
4 Help and strengthen me, dear Savior,
For I cannot go alone;
All the weary, gloomy distance
Is entirely unknown;
Not a ray of light to brighten
Up the lonely, dreary way,
And sometimes my faith grows dimmer,
Till I feel I cannot pray. [Refrain]
5 Tho’ the sea of life is stormy,
Thou controlest by Thy will;
Thou canst whisper words of comfort;
Thou canst now say, "Peace, be still;"
All the roaring, angry billows,
Every overwhelming tide,
Thou canst check my dear, dear Savior:
I will walk close by Thy side. [Refrain] Used With Tune: AHOLIAB
Savior, Lead Me
Bear Ye One Another's Burdens
Author: J. Van Namee Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Bear ye one another’s burdens Lyrics: 1 Bear ye one another’s burdens,
As ye struggle on thro’ life;
Turn not on your erring brother,
Add not to his care and strife;
Let your heart beat kindly for him,
For this world with sin is rife.
If his burden be so heavy
That he stoops beneath the care,
Help him bear it, of your vigor,
Give him as you well can spare.
2 Wipe away the tears of sorrow
Falling from his weary eyes;
Point him to a joy eternal,
In the land beyond the skies,
Ere his pining heart in anguish,
Bitter, hopeless anguish, dies.
Sympathy and love can brighten
Burdens that are hard to bear;
Angels bright will help you nobly,
Angels from the land so fair.
3 Wrap not close your mantle ’round you—
Mantle dark, of selfish pride;
In your bosom, gentle impulse
Do not strive to crush or hide;
There is much of good and evil
In this world so broad and wide.
Much for willing hearts of labor,
Much of good there is to do;
Then arouse! leave not the burden
Bearing heavy on the few. Used With Tune: FULTON STREET Text Sources: Sabbath Carols (Altoona, Penn: R. B. Mahaffey, 1881)

I Ought to Love My Savior
Author: Daniel S. Warner Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I ought to love my Savior,
He loved me long ago;
Looked on my soul with favor,
When deep in guilt and woe.
And though my sin had grieved Him,
His Father’s law had crossed,
Love drew Him down from heaven,
To seek and save the lost.
2 I ought to love my Savior,
He bore my sin and shame;
From glory to the manger,
On wings of love He came.
He trod this earth in sorrow,
Endured the pains of hell;
That I should not be banished,
But in His glory dwell.
3 I ought to love my Savior,
Upon the cross He died;
Behold the world’s Creator,
“My God, my God,” He cried.
Oh, listen to those accents
Of love divine so free;
“ ’Tis finished!”—my salvation;
Thine shall the glory be.
4 I ought to love my Savior,
He pardoned all my sin;
Then sanctified my nature,
And keeps me pure within.
He fills me with His glory,
And bears my soul above;
This world, oh, wondrous story,
’Tis love, redeeming love.
5 O Christ, I can but love Thee,
What heart could e’er withhold;
A love that cost so dearly,
The off’ring of Thy soul?
O King of love immortal,
Reign in my heart alone;
And flood this earthen temple,
With glory from Thy throne.

I Ought to Love My Savior
Cast Thy Burden on the Lord
Author: Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Christian, when thy way seems darkest Lyrics: 1 Christian, when thy way seems darkest,
And thine eyes with tears are dim,
Straight to God, thy Father, hast’ning,
Tell thy sorrows unto Him.
Not to human ear confiding
Thy sad tale of grief and care,
But, before thy Father, kneeling,
Pour out all thy sorrows there.
2 Sympathy of friends may cheer thee,
When the raging storm is past,
But God only can console thee,
In the wild, terrific blast.
Go with words, or tears, or silence,
Only lay them at His feet:
Thou shalt prove how great His pity,
And His tenderness how sweet.
3 Think how thy divine Redeemer
Knows, as thou canst never know,
All the deepest depths of suff’ring,
All the weight of human woe.
And, though now in glory seated,
He can hear thy feeblest cry,
Even hear the stifled sighings
Of the dumb heart’s agony.
4 All thy griefs by Him permitted,
Needful is each one to thee;
All thy tears by Him are counted,
One too much there cannot be.
And if, while they fall so quickly,
Thou canst own His way is right,
Then each bitter tear of anguish,
Precious is in Jesus’ sight.
For too well thy Savior loves thee
To allow thy life to be
One long, calm, unbroken summer,
One unruffled, stormless sea.
He would have thee fondly nestle,
Closer to His loving breast;
He would have that world seem brighter,
Where alone is perfect rest.
