Lyics

HELP us, O Lord, thy yoke to wear,
Delighting in thy will;
Each other's burdens learn to bear;
The law of love fulfill.


He that hath pity on the poor
Doth lend unto the Lord;
And, lo! his recompense is sure,
For more shall be restored.


To thee our all devoted be,
In whom we move and live;
Freely we have received from thee,
And freely may we give.


And while we thus obey thy word,
And every want relieve,
O may we find it, gracious Lord,
More blest than to receive.
