Verse 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.

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

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.

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 laden, Lean upon your dear Lord’s breast; Ye that labor and are heavy laden, Come, and I will give you rest.
