Come, cast your burdens on the Lord, And trust His constant care. 2 While Providence supports, Let 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 heavenly Father’s throne, And sweet refreshment find. 4 His goodness stands approved, Down to the present day: I’ll drop my burden at His feet, And bear a song away.

O For a Closer Walk with God

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: AMEC1984 #82 (2011) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame, A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb, A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew, When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul's refreshing view Of Jesus and His word, Where is the soul's refreshing view Of Jesus and His word? 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed! How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void The world can never fill, But they have left an aching void The world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy Dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest! I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, And drove Thee from my breast, I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, And drove Thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, What e'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from Thy throne, And worship only Thee, Help me to tear it from Thy throne, And worship only Thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb, So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

Say, why in the valley of death should I weep, Or alone in this wilderness rove? 3 O why should I wander, an alien from Thee, Or cry in the desert for bread? Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see, And smile at the tears I have shed. 4 He looks! and ten thousands of angels rejoice, And myriads wait for His word; He speaks! and eternity, filled with His voice; Re-echoes the praise of the Lord. 5 Dear Shepherd, I hear, and will follow Thy call; I know the sweet sound of Thy voice. Restore and defend me, for Thou art my all, And in Thee I will ever rejoice. Amen.

Redemption draweth nigh; O note the varying signs Of earth and air and sky; The God of glory comes In gentleness and might, To comfort and alarm, To succor and to smite. 4 He comes, the wide world's King; He comes, the true heart's friend, New gladness to begin, And ancient wrong to end; He comes to fill with light The weary, waiting eye; Lift up your heads, rejoice! Redemption draweth nigh. Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Praise; Holy Scripture; Jesus Advent and Nativity Scripture: Luke 21:27 Languages: English Tune Title: BLESSED HOME
