Rest Request

Tune: St Cuthbert

(\'Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed\')

Matthew 11 v.28-30

********

Come unto me, our Lord did say

All who labour this day

And who are heavy laden, rest

He gives, we blest

 

Labour and toil of spirit, soul

Or body, take their toll

But rest a while, His peace receive

And true believe

 

Take my yoke upon you, and learn

Of me, and so discern

My will, my way, my purpose sure

For evermore

 

For I am meek, gentle. lowly

This my heart to you be

Come to me, you shall find rest to

Your souls anew

 

For my yoke is easy, come take

And wear it for my sake

And my burden is light, and you

May bear it too
