105. Casting Your Care Upon Him

1 Child of God, be not discouraged,
Cast thy burden on the Lord;
With a cheerful, loving spirit
Read and trust his gracious word.

Refrain:
Casting all your care upon him,
When your skies with clouds are dim,
You will find the promise true,
Jesus careth, Jesus careth still for you.

2 O’er the dark and troubled waters,
Tho’ you oft may stem the tide,
Not alone you brave the tempest,—
He is there your Friend and Guide. [Refrain]

3 Child of God, no power can harm you,
Naught of ill your soul molest,
Casting all you care on Jesus,
In his arms you safely rest. [Refrain]

4 Soon your eyes with joy will see him,
Soon your feet will press the shore,
Where the saints redeemed are waiting,
And the storms of life are o’er. [Refrain]
