Come to me, all you who are weary, worried;
Bring to me all the things that weigh you down.
Let them go, and I will give you rest,
In me your soul will find refuge from trouble.
Share my yoke on your shoulders and learn,
Receive my guidance and instruction.
Walk right here, beside me. Don’t run ahead, or lag;
In humility and gentleness you will learn my heart.
Be joined to me, and my work flows easy,
Stay beside me, and I will take the weight.
In working together with me there is rest,
In my gentleness your soul will recover.
