| Text: | Tell it to Jesus Alone |
| Author: | Rev. J. E. Rankin, D. D., LL. D. |
| Tune: | [Are you weary? are you heavy hearted?] |
| Composer: | Rev. E. S. Lorenz |
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 checks 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 tomorrow?
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? [Chorus]
