How gentle God’s commands!

How kind his precepts are!

Come, cast your burdens on the Lord,

And trust his constant care.

2 His bounty will provide,

His saints securely dwell;

That hand which bears creation up,

Shall guard his children well.

3 Why should this anxious load

Press down your weary mind?

O, seek your heavenly Father’s throne,

And peace and comfort find.

4 His goodness stands approved,

Unchanged from day to day;

I’ll drop my burden at his feet,

And bear a song away.
