"Careful and Troubled"

Listen from:
"Careful and troubled," Is that true of thee?
"Careful and troubled," Why should'st thou be!
Faith in His wisdom, thy Savior desires;
Trust in His guidance, He always requires.
"Careful and troubled," but that is not "trust";
"Trust" means to leave it all, happen what must
"Trust" means to live free from worrying care,
Casting on Jesus thy burden to bear.
"Careful and troubled" dishonors His love;
Do not His past dealings all faithful prove?
"Careful and troubled," dishonors His power;
Will not His strength hold out, hour after hour?
"Careful and troubled" just means "unbelief";
Thou wilt not trust Him, and that gives Him grit
"Careful and troubled" just means "disobey";
"Ming here thy burden!" "I will not," you say.
And yet "He careth, He careth for you";
Have you not tried it, and found it is true?
Have you known one of His promises fail?
Have you not proved that His Strength does Pre
Alter thy motto: then, "trouble" no more;
Go to the Old Book of heavenly lore.
"Careful for nothing," there written I see,
Savior, I thank Thee; make that true of me.
