Weary pilgrim on life’s pathway (revised)

Weary pilgrim on life’s pathway—

Struggling on beneath thy load—

Hear these words of consolation

“Cast thy burden on the Lord.”

Cast thy burden on the Lord!

Cast thy burden on the Lord

And He will strengthen thee

Sustain and comfort thee—

Cast thy burden on the Lord.

Are thy tired feet unsteady?

Does thy lamp no light afford?

Is thy cross too great and heavy?

“Cast thy burden on the Lord.”

Are the ties of friendship severed?

Hushed the voices fondly heard?

Breaks thy heart with weight of anguish?

“Cast thy burden on the Lord.”

When we’re lonely

weak

and helpless

Mind in turmoil

wild discord.

These result when we forget this:

“Cast thy burden on the Lord.”

Thee He’ll comfort and establish;

Strength abundant He’ll afford

Cause thy heart in peace to flourish:

“Cast thy burden on the Lord.”
