Cast Thy Burden on the Lord

Christian, when thy way seems darkest And thine eyes with tears are dim, Straight to God, thy Father, hastening, Tell thy sorrows unto Him. Not to human ear confiding Thy sad tale of grief or care, But before thy Father, hastening, Pour out all thy sorrows there.

Sympathy of friends may cheer thee When the fierce, wild storm has burst, But God only can console thee When it breaks upon thee first. Go with words or tears or silence, Only lay them at His feet. Thou shalt prove how great His pity, And His tenderness how sweet.

Though His wise and loving purpose Clearly now thou mayst not see, Still believe, with faith unshaken, All shall work for good to thee. Therefore, when the way seems darkest, And thine eyes with tears are dim, Straight to God, thy Father, hastening, Tell thy sorrows unto Him.
