Lyrics

Cast thy cares upon the Sav­ior,
He will bear them all for thee;
And thy soul which now is bur­dened,
Shall be kept for­ev­er free.

Refrain

Cast thy cares up­on the Sav­ior,
He will glad­ly bear them all,
Even though they seem like mount­ains,
Even though they may be small.

Cast thy bur­dens all on Je­sus,
Leaning on His gen­tle breast,
And if storms do ga­ther ’round thee,
Sweet will be thy peace­ful rest.

Refrain

Put your trust alone in Je­sus,
Trusting not in hu­man arm;
And if cast with­in the fur­nace,
He will keep thee from all harm.

Refrain

Live the life the Word de­mands you,
Then the foe you need not fear;
For while stand­ing on the pro­mise,
Jesus Christ is al­ways near.
