Sheet music
- 1Hark! the gentle voice of Jesus fallethTenderly upon your ear;Sweet His cry of love and pity calleth;Turn and listen, stay and hear.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.
- 2Take 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.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.
- 3Then, 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.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.
