“Casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you.” — 1 Peter v. 7. 1 How sweet, my Saviour, to repose On Thine almighty power! To feel Thy strength upholding me, Through every trying hour. With humble faith I rest on Thee, And trust Thee day by day, Whose wisdom will direct my path, And ever guide my way. 2 It is Thy will that I should cast My every care on Thee, To Thee refer each rising grief, Each new perplexity; That I should trust Thy loving are, And look to Thee alone, Calming each troubled thought to rest In prayer before Thy throne. 3 Jesus, my Lord, Thy sweet command Gladly I will obey, To Thee commit the anxious cares Of every passing day; For all things are ordained by Thee, And work Thy gracious will; My times of sorrow and of joy Are Thine appointment still. 4 Why should my heart, then, be distressed By dread of future ill? Or why should unbelieving fear My trembling spirit fill? Thine own sweet peace will still be mine In every trying day, Peace which the world cannot bestow, And cannot take away.

Casting all your Care upon Him 1 How sweet, my Saviour, to repose On Thine almighty power! To feel Thy strength upholding me, Thro’ ev’ry trying hour! chorus: Casting all your care upon Him, Casting all your care upon Him, Casting all your care upon Him, for He careth, He careth for you. 2 It is Thy will that I should cast My ev’ry care on Thee; To Thee refer each rising grief, Each new perplexity. chorus 3 That I should trust Thy loving care, And look to Thee alone, To calm each troubled thought to rest, In prayer before Thy throne. chorus 4 Why should my heart then be distrest By dread of future ill? Or why should unbelieving fear My trembling spirit fill? chorus
