Bring your every care to Jesus,
Jesus, your almighty friend;
He will carry all your burden,
Love and keep you to the end.
Refrain
Jesus loves you, Jesus loves you,
Jesus, your almighty friend;
He will carry all your burden,
Love and keep you to the end.
Jesus calls you, kindly calls you;
Trust His never-failing love;
He who died on Calvary’s mountain,
Calls you from His home above.
Refrain
Bring your every grief to Jesus,
Who has suffered so for you;
Think you He will slight your sorrow?
He, the faithful and the true?
Refrain
Bring your every joy to Jesus;
For He smiles to see you glad;
He would have His children happy;
Never gloomy, never sad.
Refrain
Give yourself away to Jesus;
Oh, He longs to make you blest:
He will bring you safe to glory,
Where the ransomed are at rest.
