Felix Mendelssohn: Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord

Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
And he shall sustain thee.
He never will suffer the righteous to fall.
He is at thy right hand.
Thy mercy, Lord, is great
And far above the heav’ns.
Let none be made ashamed
That wait upon thee.
Text: Julius Schubring, 1806–1889; adapted from the Psalms
Music: Felix Mendelssohn, 1809–1847
