The Celebration Hymnal

613

All Your Anxiety

1 Is there a heart o’erbound by sorrow?  
Is there a life weighed down by care?  
Come to the cross, each burden bearing;  
All your anxiety — leave it there.  

Refrain:  
All your anxiety, all your care,  
Bring to the mercy seat; leave it there.  
Never a burden He cannot bear;  
Never a friend like Jesus!  

2 No other friend so swift to help you;  
No other friend so quick to hear.  
No other place to leave your burden;  
No other one to hear your prayer. [Refrain]  

3 Come then at once; delay no longer!  
Heed His entreaty kind and sweet.  
You need not fear a disappointment;  
You shall find peace at the mercy seat. [Refrain]
