Go and Tell Jesus

Representative Text

1 Troubled art thou? oh, be of good cheer;
Go and tell Jesus, he ever is near;
No anguish so deep, no trouble so dark,
But Jesus can bit it forever depart.

Refrain:
Go and tell Jesus, he ever is near;
Go and tell Jesus, have nothing to fear;
No anguish so deep, no trouble so dark,
But Jesus can bid it forever depart.

2 Tempted art thou? the Lord will provide
A way of escape; keep close to his side;
In watching and pray’r, by looking to him,
A crown of rejoicing, a vict’ry you’ll win. [Refrain]

3 Doubting art thou? examine thine heart,
Perhaps from the Savior you’re prone to depart;
Your love growing cold, your faith getting weak,
Repair to thy closet, with Jesus go speak. [Refrain]

4 Weary art thou, press on in the way,
Strength shall be given to thee with the day;
The burdens of life, if patiently borne,
Give place unto rest at the break of the morn. [Refrain]
