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.
Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus, He is a friend Who's well-known;
you've no other such a friend or brother; Tell it to Jesus alone.

Do the tears flow down your cheeks unbidden?  Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus;
Have you sins that to men's eyes are hidden?  Tell it to Jesus alone.
Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus, He is a friend Who's well-known;
you've no other such a friend or brother; Tell it to Jesus alone.

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.
Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus, He is a friend Who's well-known;
you've no other such a friend or brother; Tell it to Jesus alone.

Are you troubled at the thought of dying?  Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus;
For Christ's coming Kingdom are you sighing?  Tell it to Jesus alone.
Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus, He is a friend Who's well-known;
you've no other such a friend or brother; Tell it to Jesus alone.
