Author: W. J. K. Hymnal: Living Hymns #149 (1890) First Line: Weary pilgrim on life's pathway Lyrics: 1 Weary pilgrim on life's pathway,
Struggling on beneath thy load,
Hear these words of consolation,--
"Cast thy burden on the Lord."
Chorus:
Cast thy burden on the Lord,
Cast thy burden on the Lord,
And he will strengthen thee, sustain and comfort thee;
Cast thy burden on the Lord.
2 Are thy tired feet unsteady?
Does thy lamp no light afford?
Is thy cross too great and heavy?
Cast thy burden on the Lord. [Chorus]
3 Are the ties of friendship severed?
Hushed the voices fondly heard?
Breaks thy heart with weight of anguish,
Cast thy burden on the Lord. [Chorus]
4 Does thy heart with faintness falter?
Does thy mind forget his word?
Does thy strength succumb to weakness?
Cast thy burden on the Lord. [Chorus]
5 He will hold thee up from falling,
He will guide thy steps aright;
He will strengthen each endeavor;
He will keep thee by His might. [Chorus] Scripture: 1 Peter 5:7 Languages: English Tune Title: [Weary pilgrim on life's pathway]
