I Must Tell Jesus

Words by Elisha A. Hoffman, 18934 verses

Organ, every verse, the words light up as you sing. Tune: Orwigsburg.

I must tell Jesus all of my trials;I cannot bear these burdens alone;In my distress He kindly will help me;He ever loves and cares for His own.

Refrain, after each verseI must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!I cannot bear my burdens alone;I must tell Jesus! I must tell Jesus!Jesus can help me, Jesus alone.

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 troubles quickly an end.

Tempted and tried I need a great Savior,One who can help my burdens to bear;I must tell Jesus, I must tell Jesus;He all my cares and sorrows will share.

O how the world to evil allures me!O how my heart is tempted to sin!I must tell Jesus, and He will help meOver the world the vict'ry to win.
