I must tell Jesus

Elisha A. Hoftman

Verse 1
I must tell Jesus all of my trials
I cannot bear these burden alone
In my distress
He kindly will help me
He ever loves and cares for his own

Refrain
I must tell Jesus 2×
I cannot bear my burden alone
I must tell Jesus 2×
Jesus can help me, Jesus alone

Verse 2
I must tell Jesus all of my troubles
He is a kind compassionate friend
If I but ask him, He will deliver
Make of my trouble quickly an end

Verse 3
Tempted and tried, I need a great savior
One who can help my burden to bear
I must tell Jesus I must tell Jesus
He all my cares and sorrows will share

Verse 4
O how the world to evil allures me
O how my heart is tempted to sin
I must tell Jesus and he will help me
Over the world the victory to win.
