Hymn 229 - Cast Thy Burden on the Lord

Cast thy burden on the Lord,

Lean thou only on His Word;

Ever will He be thy stay,

Tho’ the heav’ns shall melt away.

Ever in the raging storm,

Thou shalt see His cheering form;

Hear His pledge of coming aid;

“It is I; be not afraid.”

Cast thy burden at His feet;

Linger near His mercy seat;

He will lead thee by the hand

Gently to the better land.

He will gird thee by His power,

In the weary, fainting hour;

Lean thou strong upon His Word;

Cast thy burden on the Lord.
