Hark! The Gentle Voice
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, to Him turn;
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.
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.
