1 Go bury thy sorrow;
The world hath its share;
Go bury it deeply,
Go hide it with care;
Go think of it calmly
When curtained by night;
Go tell it to Jesus,
And all will be right.
2 Go tell it to Jesus;
He knoweth thy grief;
Go tell it to Jesus;
He'll send thee relief;
Go gather the sunshine
He sheds on the way;
He'll lighten thy burden;
Go, weary one, pray.
3 Hearts growing a weary
With heavier woe,
Now droop 'mid the darkness:
Go comfort them, go!
Go bury thy sorrows,
Let others be blest;
Go give them the sunshine,
Tell Jesus the rest.

Go, bury thy sorrow, p. 1566, i. In the Notes of Joy, 1869, the original of this hymn, with music by Mrs. J. F. Knapp, is given as "Bury thy sorrow, The world has its share." Possibly the words are also by Mrs. Knapp, but this is not stated as being so, and the authorship is open to doubt. See p. 1609, i.
