'Casting your care upon God' (poem) written by Thomas Washbourne

Come, heavy souls, oppressed that are

With doubts, and fears, and carking care.

Lay all your burdens down, and see

There's one that carried once a tree

Upon his back, and, which is more,

A heavier weight, your sins, he bore.

Think then how easily he can

Your sorrows bear that's God and man;

Think too how willing he's to take

Your care on him, who for your sake

Sweat bloody drops, prayed, fasted, cried,

Was bound, scourged, mocked and crucified.

He that so much for you did do,

Will do yet more, and care for you.
