  1. 1Are you weary, are you heavy hearted?Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus;Are you grieving over joys departed?Tell it to Jesus alone.Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus;He is a Friend that’s well known;You have no other such a friend or brother;Tell it to Jesus alone.
  2. 2Do your tears flow down your cheeks unbidden?Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus;Have you sins that to man’s eyes are hidden?Tell it to Jesus alone.Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus;He is a Friend that’s well known;You have no other such a friend or brother;Tell it to Jesus alone.

  4. 4Are you troubled at the tho’t of dying?Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus,For Christ’s coming kingdom are you sighing?Tell it to Jesus alone.Tell it to Jesus, Tell it to Jesus;He is a Friend that’s well known;You have no other such a friend or brother;Tell it to Jesus alone.
