Lyrics

Verse 1

Hark, the gentle voice of Jesus falleth,

tenderly upon your ear;

sweet the cry of love and pity calleth,

turn and listen, stay and hear.

Verse 2

Take his yoke, for He is meek and lowly;

bear his burden to him turn;

he who calleth is the master holy:

he will teach if you will learn.

Verse 3

Then, his loving, tender voice obeying,

bear his yoke, his burden take;

find the yoke, his hand is on you laying,

light and easy for his sake.

Chorus

Ye that labor and are heavy ladened,

lean upon your dear Lord's breast;

ye that labor and are heavy ladened,

come and I will give you rest.
