Cast Your Care on Jesus

Oh

why do you car­ry your burd­en alone

That burd­en so hea­vy to bear?

Why un­der its weight do you la­bor and groan

When Jesus is say­ing

in tenderest tone

My child

cast on Me every care?

To Him tell your trou­bles

He’ll give you re­lief

Whenever on Him you de­pend;

This blest Man of sor­rows

ac­quaint­ed with grief

To cries of His child­ren will nev­er be deaf

If on­ly in faith they as­cend.

When sick­ness or pain shall dis­tress

He will heal

Or else give you strength to en­dure;

Our Sav­ior

who suf­fered

will ten­der­ly deal

With His strick­en child­ren

if they will but kneel

And ask this Phy­si­cian to cure.

Then go to Him al­ways

what­ev­er be­fall

If sick­ness

or sor­row

or care;

If pain should dis­turb you

or sin

tell Him all

Then down at the cross hum­bly

trust­ing­ly fall

And leave ev­ery bur­den right there.
