How Gentle God’s Commands

1. How gentle God’s commands!
   How kind His precepts are!
   Come cast your burdens on the Lord,
   And trust His constant care.

2. Beneath His watchful eye,
   His saints securely dwell;
   That hand which bears all nature up
   Shall guard his children well.

3. Why should this anxious load
   Press down your weary mind?
   Haste to your heav’nly Father’s throne
   And sweet refreshment find.

4. His goodness stands approved,
   Unchang’d from day to day
   Come drop your burden at His feet
   And bear a song away.
