Come to Me (All Who Labor) | Matthew 11 Christian Hymn | Catholic Choir, Lyrics | Rest for Your Soul

"Come to Me" by Gregory Norbet is one of the most gentle Catholic hymns ever written, weaving together the words of Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30, "Come to me, all you who labour and are burdened, and I will give you rest", with the tender imagery of Psalm 23, creating a song that feels both like an invitation and an embrace. Originally composed in 1971 and revised in 1994, the hymn finds Jesus as the Good Shepherd of the 23rd Psalm, leading us beside fresh and green meadows, restoring our souls, walking with us through dark valleys, while the refrain draws us directly to His heart with His own words: "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves." This Fourteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time, as the prophet Zechariah rejoices over the coming of a meek King "riding on a donkey" (Zechariah 9:9–10), and St. Paul reminds us that the Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead now lives within us (Romans 8:9, 11–13), this hymn is the perfect musical expression of the entire liturgy: come to the humble King, receive His rest, and go forth renewed in His Spirit. Recorded live by the Sunday 7pm Choir at SFDS Parish, Ajax ON Canada.

Take up my yoke and learn from me, For I am meek and humble of heart. And you’ll find rest for your souls, Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden is light. 1. You, God, are my Shepherd, I shall never be in need, Fresh and green are the meadows where you give me rest. Refrain 2. Beside peaceful waters you restore my true self; There you lead me to walk in the path of new life. Refrain 3. Should I be surrounded by the shadows of death, I will not fear, for you are steadfast in your love.
