  1. 1I must tell Jesus all of my trials;I cannot bear these burdens alone;In my distress He kindly will hel p me;He ever loves and cares for His own.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.
  2. 2I 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.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.
  3. 3Tempted 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 care and sorrows will share.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.
  4. 4O 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.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.
