O trust thy­self to Je­sus when thou art full of care,
When life with all its prob­lems seems more than you can bear;
Then is the time for tak­ing thy bur­dens all to Him,
And, on His Word re­ly­ing, know peace and joy with­in.

He’s able to de­fend thee from ev­ery wea­ry care,
From ev­ery weight of sor­row that would thy soul en­snare;
He’s able to de­liv­er, to tear these bands away,
And, won­drous light re­veal­ing, change dark­ness in­to day.

O Je­sus, lov­ing Sav­ior, ful­fill this truth in me,
And save me from mis­treat­ing the care that comes from Thee;
O lead me on in know­ledge to see Thee as Thou art,
And in a high­er glo­ry pos­sess my long­ing heart.
