129. Ye That Labor and are Laden

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]
