Tell Jesus.
Tell Jesus when the burden seems
Too great for you to bear;
Go lay it at the feet of Christ,
And know that he will care,
And tell Him all the little things
That come to cloud your way-
The puzzles and perplexities that
trouble you today.
Tell Jesus. He listens
Go tell Him all your care:
Tell Jesus He'll help you
Your burdens He will care
About the cherished hopes that lie
Crushed lifeless at vour feet.
The golden dreams left unfulfilled;
The labor incomplete.
If we could know how tenderly
He makes our cares His own
We would not stand aparj again
And bear the pain alone.
We would not miss the iov and peace
Of walking by His side
Of finding tempest changed to calm
and sorrow sanctified,
His human heart la iimt the same
today as yesterday,
And in His love I find ray rest.
And in His strength my stay.
