Cast thy burden on the Lord
Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 191 hymnals Topics: Burdens 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 pow'r
Are the same for evermore.
4 Heav'n and earth may pass away,
God's free grace shall not decay;
He hath promised to fulfil
All the pleasure of his will.
5 Jesus, Guardian of thy flock,
Be thyself our constant rock;
Make us, by thy pow'rful hand,
Strong as Zion's mountain stand.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 55:22 Used With Tune: MERCY Text Sources: Anon. in Rowland Hill's Psalms and Hymns, 1733

In the Hour of Trial
Author: Rev. James Montgomery Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 503 hymnals Topics: God or Christ as Burden-bearer Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial,
Jesus, plead for me;
Lest by base denial
I depart from Thee;
When Thou seest me waver,
With a look recall,
Nor for fear or favor
Suffer me to fall.
2 With forbidden pleasures
Would this vain world charm,
Or its sordid treasures
Spread to work me harm,
Bring to my remembrance
Sad Gethsemane,
Or, in darker semblance,
Cross-crowned Calvary.
3 Should Thy mercy send me
Sorrow, toil, and woe,
Or should pain attend me
On my path below,
Grant that I may never
Fail Thy hand to see;
Grant that I may ever
Cast my care on Thee.
4 When in dust and ashes
To the grave I sink,
When heaven's glory flashes
O'er the shelving brink,
On Thy truth relying,
Through that mortal strife,
Lord, receive me, dying,
To eternal life. Used With Tune: PENITENCE

That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my wants and wishes known!
In seasons of distress and grief
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter's snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer.
2 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless;
And since he bids me seek his face,
Believe his word and trust his grace,
I'll cast on him my ev'ry care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer.
3 Sweet hour of prayer, sweet hour of prayer,
May I thy consolation share,
Till from Mount Pisgah's lofty height
I view my home and take my flight:
This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise
To seize the everlasting prize,
And shout, while passing through the air,
"Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!" Scripture: Luke 11:13 Used With Tune: SWEET HOUR
Sweet Hour of Prayer
