1 Weary pilgrim on life's pathway —
Struggling on beneath thy load —
Cast thy burden on the Lord!
Cast thy burden on the Lord,
And He will strengthen thee,
sustain and comfort thee —
Cast thy burden on the Lord.
Cast thy burden on the Lord!
Cast thy burden on the Lord,
And He will strengthen thee,
sustain and comfort thee —
Cast thy burden on the Lord.
3 Are the ties of friendship severed?
Hushed the voices fondly heard?
Cast thy burden on the Lord!
Cast thy burden on the Lord,
And He will strengthen thee,
sustain and comfort thee —
Cast thy burden on the Lord.
4 Does thy heart with faintness falter?
Does thy mind forget His word?
Cast thy burden on the Lord!
Cast thy burden on the Lord,
And He will strengthen thee,
sustain and comfort thee —
Cast thy burden on the Lord.
5 He will hold thee up from falling;
He will guide thy steps aright;
Cast thy burden on the Lord!
Cast thy burden on the Lord,
And He will strengthen thee,
sustain and comfort thee —
Cast thy burden on the Lord.
