696--Cast thou thy care upon the Lord,

Cast thou thy care upon the Lord,

696

	1.	Cast thou thy care upon the Lord,
		The care that loads thy heart;
		Take Him this moment at His word,
		And let Him do His part.
	2.	The need is deep, the care is great,
		The burden hard to bear;
		Roll it on Him with all its weight,
		And leave it resting there.
	3.	This heavy thing, it is His gift,
		His portion, thee to bless;
		Give it Him back; what He shall lift
		No more on thee shall press.
	4.	Cast all thy care, and not a part,
		The great things and the small;
		The Lord's all-loving, mighty heart
		Has room and thought for all.
	5.	Yes, He will ponder every care,
		Consider each detail;
		Thyself, thy burden, let Him bear;
		He will not, cannot, fail.
