How gentle God's commands!

How gentle God's commands!How kind his precepts are!Come, cast your burdens on the Lord,And trust his constant care.

Beneath his watchful eyeHis saints securely dwell;That hand which bears all nature upShall guard his children well.

Why should this anxious loadPress down your weary mind?Haste to your heavenly Father's throne,And sweet refreshment find.

His goodness stands approvedThrough each succeeding day:I 'll drop my burden at his feet,And bear a song away.
