1 

Cast thou thy care upon the Lord,

   The care that loads thy heart;

Take Him this moment at His word,

   And let Him do His part.

 2 

The need is deep, the care is great,

   The burden hard to bear;

Roll it on Him with all its weight,

   And leave it resting there.

 3 

This heavy thing, it is His gift,

   His portion, thee to bless;

Give it Him back; what He shall lift

   No more on thee shall press.

 4 

Cast all thy care, and not a part,

   The great things and the small;

The Lord's all-loving, mighty heart

   Has room and thought for all.

 5 

Yes, He will ponder every care,

   Consider each detail;

Thyself, thy burden, let Him bear;

   He will not, cannot, fail.
