Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord

Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord

Sung to BIRMINGHAM, composed in 1846 by Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)

Psalm 16:8 I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Psalm 25:3 No one who hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.

Psalm 55:22 Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.

Psalm 57:10 For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

V. 1 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, 

And He shall sustain thee;

He never will suffer the righteous to fall;

He is at thy right hand.

Thy mercy, Lord, is great, and far above the heavens;

Let none be made ashamed, that wait upon Thee.
