R. Come closer, all you who carry heavy loads.
Come closer, all you who are weighed down.
I offer relief to the weary.
I offer relief to the weary.
1. Take my yoke upon your shoulder,
For I am gentle, humble is my heart.
Come learn from Me, see my yoke is light,
Like the burden I will give you.
Come and learn from Me.
2. As a child rests in its mother’s arms,
In You, o Lord, my soul remains in peace.
O Israel, hope in the Lord,
As a watchman for the daybreak,
Wait for the Lord.
