How gentle God's commands!
    Bb       F        C

And trust his constant care.

Beneath his watchful eye,

His Saints securely dwell;

That hand which bears all nature up

Press down your weary mind?

Haste to your Heav'nly Father's throne

Unchanged from day to day;
     C       F      C      F
I'll drop my burden at his feet
Bb  F   Bb F   C7 F
And bear a song away.
