No Need to Worry

By Eliza H. Morton

ELIZA H. MORTON

No longer will I hold and wear This heavy garb of anxious care; It binds my soul, retards my feet, And keeps me from the mercy-seat: I’ll no more worry night or day, There’s safety in the King’s highway.

’Tis Jesus bids me take no thought, His blood my heavy burdens bought: He guides the sparrow on the wing, His Spirit makes the sad heart sing: I’ll no more worry night or day, There’s safety in the King’s highway.

He clothes the lily of the vale, He calms the fury of the gale, He holds the waters in his hand, And checks the tide with gates of sand: I’ll no more worry night or day, There’s safety in the King’s highway.

When hearts are cleansed, no need to fear, Ten thousand angels strong are near; No condemnation mars the peace When Christ from sin gives glad release: I’ll no more worry night or day, There’s safety in the King’s highway.

I’ll bury in oblivion deep The things which made my proud heart weep; Christ will perfect what he’s begun, I see by faith the victory won: I’ll no more worry night or day, There’s safety in the King’s highway.
