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.
