Text: | Ye That Labor and are Laden |
Author: | Mrs. M. B. C. Slade |
Tune: | [Hark, the gentle voice of Jesus falleth] |
Composer: | A. B. Everett |
1 Hark, the gentle voice of Jesus falleth
Tenderly upon your ear;
Sweet his cry of love and pity calleth;
Turn and listen, stay and hear.
Chorus:
Ye that labor and are heavy laden,
Lean upon your dear Lord’s breast;
Ye that labor and are heavy laden,
Come, and I will give you rest.
2 Take his yoke, for he is meek and lowly,
Bear his burden of him learn;
He who calleth is the Master holy,
He will teach if you will learn. [Chorus]
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]
