245. 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.

Ye that labor and are heavy-laden, lean upon your dear Lord’s breast.

2.

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.

Ye that labor and are heavy-laden, lean upon your dear Lord’s breast.

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.

Ye that labor and are heavy-laden, lean upon your dear Lord’s breast.
