Lyrics:

Cast thy burden on the Lord
Only lean upon His word;
Thou wilt soon have cause to bless
His eternal faithfulness.

He sustains thee by His hand
He enables thee to stand;
Those whom Jesus once hath loved
From His grace are never moved.

Human counsels come to naught;
That shall stand which God hath wrought;
His compassion, love, and pow'r
Are the same for evvermore.

Heav'n and earth may pass away,
God's free grace shall not decay;
He hath promised to fulfill
All the pleasure of His will.

Jesus, Guardian of thy flock,
Be thyself our constant rock;
Make us, by thy pow'rful hand,
Strong as Zion's mountain stand.
