1 If thy life is filled with sorrow,
Tell it to Jesus in prayer;
If there comes no glad tomorrow,
Tell it to Jesus in prayer.

Refrain:
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus;
Tell it to Jesus in prayer;
If there comes no glad tomorrow,
Tell it to Jesus in prayer.

2 If the host of sin surround thee,
Tell it to Jesus in prayer;
If thy heart would gain the vict’ry,
Tell it to Jesus in prayer. [Refrain]

3 Would you have your burden lighter,
Tell it to Jesus in prayer;
Would you have your days grow brighter,
Tell it to Jesus in prayer. [Refrain]
