206. Tell It To Jesus

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 cheeks 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 to-morrow?
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?
Tell it to Jesus alone. [Chorus]
