Verse 1
How gentle God’s commands!
How kind his precepts are!
Come, cast your burdens on the Lord,
And trust his constant care.
Verse 2
His bounty will provide;
His saints securely dwell;
That hand which bears creation up,
Shall guard his children well.
Verse 3
Why should this anxious load
Press down your weary mind?
Oh, seek your heavenly Father’s throne,
And peace and comfort find.
Verse 4
His Goodness Stands approved,
Unchanged from day to day;
I’ll drop my burden at his feet,
And bear a song away.
Philip Doddridge, “How Gentle God's Commands!”
