Mt 11:28-30
HARK! THE GENTLE VOICE-Asa Brooks Everett
Hark! The Gentle Voice
(or Hark! The Gentle Voice of Jesus Falleth)
}
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.
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.
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.
