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.”
