C. How gentle God's commands

1 How gentle God’s commands!
How kind His precepts are!
"Come, cast your burdens on the Lord,
And trust his constant care."

2 His providence supports,
Let saints securely dwell;
The hand, which bears all nature up
Shall guide his children well.

3 Then let no anxious load
Press down your weary mind;
Haste to your heav'nly Father’s throne,
And sweet refreshment find.

4 His goodness stands appov'd
Down to the present day;
Then drop your burden at his feet,
And bear a song away.
