Author: M. E. Servoss Hymnal: Joyful Songs #30 (1875) First Line: If with sin you're overcast Lyrics: 1 If with sin you're overcast,
Tell it to the Lord;
He'll forgive your sinful past,
Tell it to the Lord;
Tell it from a contrite heart,
Faithfully perform your part.
Tell it to the Lord,
Tell it to the Lord.
2 When he lifts the burden up,
Tell it to the Lord;
Should a joy o'erflow thy cup,
Tell it to the Lord;
He alone can give thee joy,
Sympathy, without alloy,
Tell it to the Lord,
Tell it to the Lord.
3 He has a friend thy trust betray'd,
Tell it to the Lord;
Would you have a fear allayed,
Tell it to the Lord;
He will be a friend indeed,
From your fear you will be freed.
Tell it to the Lord,
Tell it to the Lord.
4 Was thy soul exchanged for gold,
Tell it to the Lord;
Has thy heart grown hard and cold,
Tell it to the Lord;
He alone forgiveth sin,
He alone gives peace within,
Tell it to the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: [If with sin you're overcast]
