1. Your yoke is easy It gives rest to my soul I trust in You as my refuge Come save me from death I find comfort in Your way, Lord Make my burdens lighter I am refreshed by You
2. You tell us we are sheep We trust in heaven A traveler does not worry He is cared for by God And now You are with me You have helped me You have removed my burdens And now I am happy
3. When I am troubled by trials You comfort me with kindness You speak words of encouragement That help me a lot When I say: I am weak You say: No, you are strong When I say: The door is closed to me You say: No, you will enter
4. What will happen when I leave This dying body? Will I be like Elijah In a flying chariot? I will clap my hands I will say: Hallelujah Hallelujah to the mighty one Who saves me, to Jehovah.
