1. Once I was burdened with many a care;
hard for my weak soul to bear;
Then in God's word came a message so clear;

2. Ask of your Father, He loveth to please;
Unlock His treasure, He gives us the keys;
Claiming this promise, I dropped to my knees:

3. Doubting and fretting can only bring shame;
Worry and fear will dishonor His name;
Go to your Saviour His promise to claim:

4. Riches in Jesus, abundant and free,
Needs in our work or whatever it be;
Ours for the asking! This only His plea:
