1 How sweet, my Father, to recline
On never-failing pow'r,
To feel thine arm upholding me
In ev'ry trying hour!

Chorus:
Casting all my care upon him,
Casting all my care upon him,
Casting all my care upon him,
For he careth for me.

2 It is thy will that I should bring
My ev’ry care on thee;
To thee refer each rising grief,
Each new perplexity. [Chorus]

3 Why should my heart be e'er distress'd
By dread of future ill?
Or why should unbelieving fear
My trembling spirit fill? [Chorus]

4 Each hour I trust thy love divine,
And look to thee alone,
To calm each troubled tho't to rest,
In pray'r before thy throne. [Chorus]
