How Gentle God’s Commands

Lyrics

1. 1. How gentle God’s commands!

   How kind his precepts are!

   Come, cast your burdens on the Lord

   And trust his constant care.

2. 2. Beneath his watchful eye,

   His Saints securely dwell;

   That hand which bears all nature up

   Shall guard his children well.

3. 3. Why should this anxious load

   Press down your weary mind?

   Haste to your Heav’nly Father’s throne

   And sweet refreshment find.

4. 4. His goodness stands approved,

   Unchanged from day to day;

   I’ll drop my burden at his feet

   And bear a song away.
