All Your Anxiety

Hymn lyrics and music by Edward H. Joy

Verse 1

• Is there a heart o’erbound by¹ sorrow?
• Is there a life weighed down by care?
• Come to the cross, each burden bearing;
• All your anxiety—leave it there.

Chorus

• 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!

Verse 2

• No other friend so swift² to help you,
• No other friend so quick to hear,
• No other place to leave your burden,
• No other one to hear your prayer.

Chorus

Verse 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.

Chorus
¹Some hymnals read “bent o’er with”
²Many hymnals read “keen”
