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;

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.

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.
