Lyrics

When you are wea­ry,
Discouraged, op­pressed,
And bur­dens too hea­vy have grown,
Go tell it to Je­sus,
And with Him find rest,
O tell it to Je­sus alone!

Refrain

Go tell it to Je­sus alone;
Go tell it to Je­sus alone;
When sor­rows are near,
There’s One who will hear,
Go tell it to Je­sus alone!

If you have trou­bles
No mor­tal can share,
Are tempt­ed, for­sak­en, un­done,
There’s One who is faith­ful,
Your cross­es He’ll bear,
Go tell it to Je­sus alone!

Refrain

If you on Je­sus
But trust and be­lieve,
Whatever the fail­ures you’ve known,
Sweet rest and for­give­ness
Thro’ Him you’ll re­ceive,
Go tell it to Je­sus alone!
