How Gentle God's Commands

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

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

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

4His goodness stands approved,
Down to the present day;
I'll drop my burden at His feet
And bear a song away.
