Cast Away Your Cares

When cares are many

And hope is one;

And burdens rainy

The war is won.

The heart will start

To heat with fear;

Don’t bother hearing

The echoes of jeer.

The heart may weep

From day to night;

The mind may leap

The metes at sight.

Amid your plight

Stand by your heart;

You will feel right

Cares will depart.

Trusting in God

Will help you find,

With his true rod

The peace of mind.

Lift up your eyes

Pray to the lord,

Out of the skies

Well-timed accord.
