The Praiseworthy Singer Vol. 15

Live By the Light of His Love
How Gentle God's Commands
Counsel With the Lord 
Master the Tempest Is Raging
To Feel His Presence There
Glory to God on High
Call Upon the Lord

How Gentle God's Commands - Arranged by Betsy Lee Bailey
Text: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751      Music: Hans Georg Nageli, 1773-1836

How gentle Gods commands! 
How kind His precepts are!
Come cast your burdens on the Lord 
And trust His constant care.

Beneath His watchful eye, 
His Saints securely dwell;
That hand which bears all nature up
Shall guard His children well.

Why should this anxious load
Press down your weary mind?
Haste to your Heavenly Father's throne 
And sweet refreshment find.

His goodness stands approved,
Unchanged from day to day.
I'll drop my burden at His feet 
And bear a song away.

I'll drop my burden at His feet 
And bear a song away.
