Author: Ina Duley Ogdon Hymnal: Victory Songs #95 (1920) First Line: When dark and stormy is the way Refrain First Line: Tell Jesus, wht the thorn-crowned brow Lyrics: 1 When dark and stormy is the way,
When sin besets on ev'ry hand,
There’s One who’ll be your friend and stay—
Tell Jesus, He will understand.
Chorus:
Tell Jesus, with the thorn-crowned brow,
The riven side and wounded hand;
Tell Jesus, when to Him you bow—
Tell Jesus, He will understand.
2 No one there is who better knows
The sorrows of this earthly land;
He bears the cross of all our woes—
Tell Jesus, He will understand. [Chorus]
3 Your heavy burdens He will share,
And guard you with His angel band;
Oh, cast on Him your ev'ry care—
Tell Jesus, He will understand. [Chorus]
4 When those you love have said goodbye,
And left you for the golden strand,
When no one else can hear your cry—
Tell Jesus, He will understand. [Chorus]
5 When all your labors here are o’er
And at the river’s brink you stand,
Fear not, nor dread the breaker’s roar—
Tell Jesus, He will understand. [Chorus] Topics: Consecration Languages: English Tune Title: [When dark and stormy is the way]
Tell Jesus.
