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.
