Though doubt and dismay should enfold you
And hope and relief become dim,
Remember that someone has told you
To “cast all your care upon him.”

If sorrows and troubles o’ertake you
And grief fills your cup to the brim;
There is one who will never forsake you,
So “cast all your care upon him.”

When mourning the loss of the dearest,
And tears make the couch seem to swim,
‘Tis then the promise is clearest,
So “cast all your care upon him.”

If worried and worn you’ve neglected
The lamp that he gave you to trim,
E’en then by his word you’re directed
To “cast all your care upon him.”
