A few days ago I posted an aria from Mendelssohn’s Elijah, O Rest in the Lord. Here is yet another of the wonderful bits from that work. Struggling, exhausted, worried, angry, or desperate today? Here’s advice right from the pages of Holy Scripture.

Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
And He shall sustain thee.
He never will suffer the righteous to fall;
He is at thy right hand.
Thy mercy, Lord, is great
and far above the heav’ns;
Let none be made ashamed
that wait upon Thee.

(Psalm 55:22)

This recording is old, but carries with it a sweetness of peace that fits the words being sung.
