Cast your burden on the Lord,
only lean upon his word;
you will soon have cause to bless
his eternal faithfulness.
He sustains you by his hand,
he enables you to stand;
those whom Jesus once has loved
from his grace are never moved.
Human counsels come to naught;
that shall stand which God has wrought;
his compassion, love, and power
are the same forevermore.
Jesus, Guardian of your flock,
be yourself our constant rock;
make us, by your powerful hand,
strong as Zion’s mountain stand.
