486. I Must Tell Jesus

1 I must tell Jesus all of my trials,
I cannot bear these burdens alone;
In my distress my Jesus will help me,
who ever loves and cares for God's own.

Refrain:
I must tell Jesus!
I must tell Jesus!
I cannot bear my burdens alone;
I must tell Jesus!
I must tell Jesus!
Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.

2 I must tell Jesus all of my troubles,
Jesus my kind, compassionate Friend;
If I but ask, my Savior will answer,
all of my troubles quickly will end. [Refrain]

3 Tempted and tried, I need a great Savior,
One who can help my burdens to bear;
I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus;
who all my cares and sorrows will share. [Refrain]

4 Oh, how the world to evil allures me!
Oh, how my heart is tempted to sin!
I must tell Jesus, my Friend who helps me
over the world the victory to win. [Refrain]
