1. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me,
For my yoke is easy and my burden shall be light (shall be light),
You shall be made happy, from sin you’ll be free,
Following Jesus your pathway will be bright.
Chorus:
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me,
(Take my yoke upon you and learn, and learn of me, of me,)
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light,
(For my yoke is easy, easy, and my burden is light,)
Take my yoke upon you and learn of me,
(Take my yoke upon you and learn, and learn of me, of me)
You shall find rest unto your souls.
(You shall find rest unto your souls.)
2. Take my yoke upon you, for lighter far,
Ev’ry burden seemeth when I all your weakness share (weakness share,)
Tho’ life’s cares annoy you, they never can mar,
The blessed Savior can lighten ev’ry care.
3. Take my yoke upon you, ’twill be your aid,
When life’s cares and sorrows darkly gather ’round your way (’round your way,)
Looking unto Jesus, you’ll not be dismay’d,
And He will guide you to everlasting day.
