170. Cast All Your Care Upon Him

1 Oh, why do you carry your burden alone,
That burden of sorrow and care?
Since Jesus is saying in tenderest tone,
Yourself and your burden I'll bear.

Chorus:
Come cast all thy care on Jesus,
Oh, weary and troubled soul,
Come cast all thy burden upon Him;
He wants not a part but the whole.

2 Go tell Him your trouble, He'll give you relief,
If on Him you'll only depend;
To cries of His children He'll never be deaf,
If only in faith they ascend. [Chorus]

3 If sickness distress you, or pain, He will heal,
Or else give you strength to endure,
To Jesus who suffered, then fervently kneel,
And trustingly ask Him to cure. [Chorus]

4 Then go to Him always, whatever befall,
Of sickness or sorrow or sin;
Tell Jesus your trouble, and tell to Him all,
And then let your praises begin. [Chorus]
