71. Just Tell it to Jesus

1 Just tell it to Jesus, when burdens oppress,
Tell it to Him! Tell it to Him!
When troubles are many and worries distress,
Tell it, O soul, to Him.

Refrain:
Just tell it to Jesus,
Whatever betide,
In joy or in sorrow,
He walketh beside,
Thy Saviour, thy Helper,
Thy Friend true and tried,
Then tell it, O soul to Him.

2 Just tell it to Jesus, when pathways are drear,
Tell it to Him! Tell it to Him!
To thought of His presence will calm ev’ry fear,
Tell it, O soul, to Him. [Refrain]

3 Just tell it to Jesus, the song or the sigh,
Tell it to Him! Tell it to Him!
In joy or in sorrow the Saviour is nigh,
Tell it, O soul, to Him. [Refrain]

4 Just tell it to Jesus, when tempests are wild,
Tell it to Him! Tell it to Him!
Tho’ storms beat around thee, He loveth His child,
Tell it, O soul, to Him. [Refrain]
