150. CAST THY BURDEN ON THE LORD

Previous
Next

​Author:  Laurentius Laurenti (1660-1722)
​Composer:  Johann Georg Ebeling (1637-1676)​

1. Why wilt thou thus for the morrow,
    O, my heart, For thy part
    As a heathen sorrow,
    Wherefore is thy daily weeping,
    When God will, Loving still,
    Take thee in His keeping.
 
2. God thy life to thee has granted;
    This is plain; So remain
    Now to Him devoted;
    In the future He will render
    To thee all; None will fall
    Who to Him surrender.
 
3. Wilt thou food have for the morrow?
    God indeed Fills all need;
    Care thou needst not borrow.
    Thou on this canst be relying;
    Daily bread Your own God
    Richly is supplying.
 
4. Life is more than earthly living,
    God shall be, We shall see,
    All that’s needful giving,
    As on Him we are relying,
    Ev’ry need, As we plead,
    He will be supplying.
 
5. Take no thought here for thy clothing;
    Christ declares: “Have no cares;
    Thou shalt lack in nothing!
    See the lily in its glory,
    Standing there Slender, fair;
    Thus God careth for thee!”
 
6. He who righteousness is seeking
    And who still God’s own will
    Over all is keeping,
    Will receive as he requires
    Drink and food, Ev’ry good
    As his heart desires.
 
7. Should my faith by God be tested,
    All that’s dear To me here
    From my hand be wrested,
    All these things will work together
    For my gain, Even pain
    Given by my Father.
 
8. He is able to be giving
    All again; Doth ordain
    His Word for our living.
    Lo, how many souls, believing,
    Now live so, Without woe,
    Without care and grieving!
 
9. Cares commit they to their Saviour;
    To His will Bowing still,
    To His guidance ever;
    What God wills is their true pleasure;
    He, their Lord, And His Word,
    Their abiding treasure.
 
10. From them God is naught withholding;
      He gives bread In their need,
      All their cries beholding.
      He with comfort oft is nearest
      Quickly hears And appears
      When the need is greatest.
 
11. All to Thee, as truly fitting--
      Burdened heart, Care and smart--
      Lord, I am committing!
      Therefore, Lord, do Thou care for me!
      I to Thee, Bend the knee;
      Silent, I adore Thee.
 
12. I will thank Thee for Thy favor
      Evermore, And therefore
      Never, never waver.
      To Thy name be thanks and praises;
      Take my part; Heal my heart,
      Amen, yea, Lord Jesus!

Special thanks to the Apostolic Christians who diligently labored to keep their rich musical heritage alive when most other denominations forsook it in the challenging battle of changing cultures.
​
Thanks be to those souls who labored to write and compose this treasure of praise, many now only known to GOD!

Above all, thanks, praise, and glory be to GOD!
