Lyrics

Verse 1

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

I 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.

Verse 2

I must tell Jesus all of my troubles, He is a kind, compassionate Friend; If I but ask Him, He will deliver, Makes of my troubles quickly an end.

Refrain

I 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.

Verse 3

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 vict'ry to win.

Refrain

I 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.
