Tell it to Jesus

Representative Text

1 Tell it to Jesus—
all of thy sorrow,
All of thy cares whate’er they be;
Surely and sweetly,
He will deliver,
He will sustain and comfort thee.

Refrain:
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus,
Tell it to Jesus, He will hear,
Only believe Him, trust and receive Him,
He will sustain and comfort thee.

2 Tell it to Jesus,
He is thy Savior,
Tell it, and His salvation see;
Do not deny Him,
Do not defy Him,
He will sustain and comfort thee. [Refrain]

3 Tell it to Jesus,
He is a refuge,
Into His arms for mercy flee;
Tell it believing,
Tell it receiving,
Grace to sustain and comfort thee. [Refrain]
