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.

Refrain

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.

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.

Refrain

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.
