Tell It to Jesus

Jeremiah Eames Rankin (1876)

Lyrics

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.

Refrain:

Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus, He is a friend that's well known; you've no other such a friend or brother, tell it to Jesus alone.

Do the tears flow down your cheeks unbidden? Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus; have you sins that to men's eyes are hidden? Tell it to Jesus alone. [Refrain]

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.[Refrain]

Are you troubled at the thought of dying? Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus; for Christ's coming kingdom are you sighing? Tell it to Jesus alone. [Refrain]
