Cast thy care on Jesus, make him now thy friend, tell him all thy troubles, trust him to the end; he is man and brother, he is Lord and God, and the way of sorrows is the path he trod. Cast thy care on Jesus, nothing is too small for his vast compassion; he can feel for all; in the gloom and darkness clasp his living hand, he will guide and cheer thee through the desert land. Cast thy care on Jesus, tell him all thy sin, all thy fierce temptations and the wrong withing; he himself was tempted, and he pleads above for the soul that asketh pardon through his love. Cast thy care on Jesus, what is death to those who in deep submission on his love repose? But a short step further, nearer to his side, where thine eyes shall see him and be satisfied.
