He left His Father's throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace;
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam's helpless race;
'Tis mercy all, immense and free;
For, O my God, it found out me.

Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me!
(C. Wesley)

[Jimmy O'Keefe @Matthew2028]

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,
Down to the present day:
I’ll drop my burden at His feet,
And bear a song away.
(Philip Doddridge)

[Jimmy O'Keefe @Matthew2028]

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

While Providence supports,
Let saints securely dwell;
That hand which bears all nature up
Shall guard His children well.

[Jimmy O'Keefe @Matthew2028]

"I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders. I will be glad and exult in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High."
