1 Once I was weary toiling on life’s way,
Once I was longing for some brighter day,
Till with my burden I to Christ did go,
And He has gold me just what to do.

Chorus:
Jesus will tell me, Jesus will tell me,
Yes, He will tell me just what to do;
Jesus will tell me, Jesus will tell me,
Yes, He will tell me just what to do.

2 When I was doubting, turning here and there,
While sin and danger met me ev’rywhere,
And as I asked Him, simply trusting, too,
Then Jesus told me just what to do. [Chorus]

3 For He hath gold me, in His holy word,
That ev’ry prayer will lovingly be heard;
So in His strength I safely journey thro’,
Trusting in Him who knows what to do. [Chorus]
