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 restor'd.



To Thee our all devoted be,

In whom we move and live;

Freely we have reciev'd 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.
