HIS YOKE.

By Alice M. Avery-Harper

O, COME to Christ; for He has said, "My yoke is easy, and My burden light"! Come, bathe those tear-dimmed eyes, anoint thy head, And find in Him delight.

Yes, take His yoke, and thou shalt find That He Himself will bear thy heavy load, Nor grope in darkness pitiable and blind, Along the narrow road.

Dispel thy doubts; give Him thy heart. Behold His footprints, stained with sinless blood, And take His yoke; from Him no more depart. He is thy life, thy food.

His brow with cruel thorns was torn— Unutterable the anguish and the grief. With weary journeys often was He worn, Yet brought He glad relief.

Look up, rejoice, and trust in Him, Poor suppliant, for He will plead thy cause. His burden and His yoke are wondrous light, And just are all His laws.
