Hymn 82. His Yoke Is Easy by R. E. Hudson — Lyrics

VERSE 1 The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want, He maketh me down to lie In pastures green, He leadeth me The quiet waters by. VERSE 2 My soul crieth out: "restore me again, And give me the strength to take The narrow path of righteousness, E'en for His own Name's sake."

About Hymn 82. His Yoke Is Easy

"His Yoke Is Easy" is a comforting hymn that beautifully marries two of the most reassuring passages in Scripture: the guiding presence of Psalm 23 and the gentle promise of Christ in Matthew 11. For a choir, this piece offers a profound moment of peace, often sung during Communion or as a reflective meditation when the congregation needs a reminder of God's tender care.

The verses carry the familiar, grounding words of the Good Shepherd—green pastures, quiet waters, and the restoration of the soul. But it is the refrain that truly lifts the heart, shifting to a personal testimony: "His yoke is easy, His burden is light, I've found it so." When the choir reaches this chorus, the harmony opens up, inviting everyone in the pews to rest in the knowledge that they do not walk their path alone. It is a gentle, steadying song that brings quiet strength to any Sunday Mass.
