Christ in Song 335
How Gentle God's Commands!
1How gentle God's commands! How kind his precepts are! Come, cast your burdens on the Lord, And trust his constant care.
2Beneath his watchful eye His saints securely dwell; That hand which bears all nature up Shall guide his children well.
3Why should this anxious load Press down your weary mind? Haste to your heavenly Father's throne, And sweet refreshment find.
4His goodness stands approved, Down to the present day; I'll drop my burden at his feet, And bear a song away.
