O Heart Bowed Down with Sorrow

O heart bowed down with sorrow!
O eyes that long for sight!
There's gladness in believing;
In Jesus there is light.

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 soul

Earth's fleeting gain and pleasure
Can never satisfy:
Tis love our joy doth measure
For love can never die.

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 soul

His peace is like a river,
His love is like a song;
His yoke's a burden never;
Tis easy all day long.

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 soul

You can hear a small sample here, it's number 11 (the men's part is a bit more staccato than the version to which I am accustomed).
