Today’s hymn comes from an anonymous writer, and was included in Rowland Hill’s Psalms and Hymns collection in 1783, and was entitled, “Encouragement for the Weak”1. This one definitely is an encouragement for the weak and hope it encourages you today; enjoy!
Meter: 7.7.7.7
Cast thy burden on the Lord,
Only lean upon His Word;
Thou wilt soon have cause to bless
His eternal faithfulness.
He sustains thee by His hand,
He enables thee to stand;
Those whom Jesus once hath loved
From His grace are never moved.
Human counsels come to naught;
That shall stand which God hath wrought;
His compassion, love, and power,
Are the same for evermore.
Heaven and earth may pass away,
God’s free grace shall not decay;
He hath promised to fulfill
All the pleasure of His will.
Jesus, Guardian of Thy flock,
Be Thyself our constant Rock;
Make us, by Thy powerful hand,
Strong as Zion’s mountain stand.
