1 Is your heart o’erburdened with grief and care?
Are you fainting now beneath the cross you bear?
Tell it all to Jesus at the place of prayer,
Carry all your sorrows to Him.
Refrain:
Carry all your sorrows to Him,
Carry all your sorrows to Him;
On your heart His love will fall,
If you go and tell Him all,
Carry all your sorrows to Him.
2 Do you long for comfort in your sore distress?
Come to Christ your Savior and your sins confess;
Tell it all to Jesus, He will heal and bless,
Carry all your sorrows to Him. [Refrain]
3 Are you sad and lonely, is the pathway drear?
Tarry then no longer in your doubt and fear;
Tell it all to Jesus, He is very near,
Carry all your sorrows to Him. [Refrain]
4 Let the Savior guide you all along the way,
From the homeward pathway never go astray;
All your heavy burdens He will roll away,
Carry all your sorrows to Him. [Refrain]
