1 O heart bowed down with sorrow! O eyes that long for sight! There's gladness in believing; In Jesus there is light.
Refrain: "Come unto me, all ye that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
2 Earth's fleeting gain and pleasure Can never satisfy; 'Tis love our joy doth measure, For love can never die. [Refrain]
3 Divinest consolation Doth Christ the Healer give; Art thou in condemnation? Repent, believe and live. [Refrain]
4 His peace is like a river, His love is like a song; His yoke's a burden never; 'Tis easy all day long. [Refrain]
