Praise for the Lord (Expanded Edition) ‎#91

91. Cast Thy Burden on the Lord

1 Cast thy burden on the Lord,
Only lean upon His Word;
Thou shalt soon have cause to bless
His eternal faithfulness.

2 Ever in the raging storm
Thou shalt see His cheering form,
Hear His pledge of coming aid:
"It is I, be not afraid."

3 He will gird thee by His pow'r,
In thy weary fainting hour;
Lean then, loving, on His Word;
Cast thy burden on the Lord.
