Christian Songs, Song XXXIX

Blest he! who chast'ned, and well taught of God, To lead and love the heav'n-directed road: Whose breast receives, by heav'n's all-gracious plan, A sober mind, God's greatest gift to man. Like him who tho' the sov'reign Lord of all, Yet thus allur'd mankind to hear his call;

2 All ye who groan, with fruitless labour prest, Come see my labour, I will give you rest: Take up my yoke, and learn the lowly part From me, for meek and lowly is my heart. Thus, only thus, your souls true rest shall find; And know my yoke is light, my burden's kind.
