1.

When life’s cares bear down on me,
I will cast them all on Thee.
Thou wilt greatly strengthen me,
precious Savior.
Then no burden is too great,
None so young that they must wait.
O what comfort great I share.
Hallelujah!

Chorus:

Rest believing, nothing doubting!
Cast on Him your every care
At His throne of grace in prayer.
Lift your vision up to heaven.
For His laws so wonderful we will praise Him.

2.

When I’m tired and cast right down,
Thou dost lift me with Thine arm.
Thou dost give me victory,
precious Savior.
At Thy Word each foe must flee;
Satan has no claim on me.
I shall reign eternally.
Hallelujah!

3.

Would you life and good days see?
Then your will must buried be.
Life and peace you’ll then receive,
brother, sister!
Let us give our life and blood;
Let us work for others’ good.
Christ will meet our every need.
Hallelujah!

4.

Let us run hard in the race,
None of God’s good time to waste.
Life is short; O make good haste,
brother, sister!
All the strife we’ll not regret;
All the suff’rings we’ll forget,
When we share our Savior’s throne.
Hallelujah!

5.

Soon our suff’rings will be past,
When life’s end we reach at last.
One forever shall we be.
Hallelujah!
Pain and sorrow are not there
In our Savior’s home so fair.
And the crown of life we’ll wear.
Hallelujah!
