Cast Thy Burden on the Lord { Cast Thy Burden on the Lord MERCY-Louis M. Gottschalk ST. BEES-Rev. John Bacchus Dykes ST. FRANCIS-T. Lloyd Diggs SAVANNAH-Rev. John Wesley, Foundery Collection, 1 742 SEYMOUR-Carl Maria von Weber Cast Thy Burden on the Lord } Cast thy burden on the Lord, Only lean upon his word; Thou wilt soon have cause to bless His unchanging faithfulness. He sustains thee by his hand, He enables thee to stand; Those, whom Jesus once hath loved, From his grace are never moved. Heaven 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 powerful hand, Firm as Zion's mountain stand.
