55. Tell it to Jesus Alone

1 Are you weary? are you heavy hearted?
Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus;
Are you grieving over joys departed?
Tell it to Jesus alone.

Chorus:
Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus,
He is a friend that's well known:
You have no other such a friend or brother?
Tell it to Jesus alone.

2 Do the tears flow down your checks unbidden?
Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus;
Have you sins that to man's eye are hidden?
Tell it to Jesus alone. [Chorus]

3 Do you fear the gath'ring clouds of sorrow?
Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus;
Are you anxious what shall be tomorrow?
Tell it to Jesus alone. [Chorus]

4 Are you troubled at the tho't of dying?
Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus;
For Christ's coming kingdom are you sighing? [Chorus]
