Go and Tell Jesus (Bowling)

lyricist: Abner Bowling, 1902
Composer: Charles Pollock

Troubled art thou? oh

be of good cheer;

Go and tell Je­sus

He ev­er is near;

No ang­uish so deep

no trou­ble so dark

But Je­sus can bid it for­ev­er de­part.

Go and tell Je­sus

He ev­er is near;

Go and tell Je­sus

have no­thing to fear;

No ang­uish so deep

no trou­ble so dark

But Je­sus can bid it for­ev­er de­part.

Tempted art thou? The Lord will pro­vide

A way of es­cape; keep close to His side;

In watch­ing and pray­er

by look­ing to Him

A crown of re­joic­ing

a vic­to­ry you’ll win.

Doubting art thou? Ex­am­ine thine heart

Perhaps from the Sav­ior you’re prone to d­epart;

Your love grow­ing cold

your faith get­ting weak

Repair to thy clo­set

with Je­sus go speak.

Weary art thou? Press on in the way;

Strength shall be giv­en to thee with the day;

The bur­dens of life

if pa­tient­ly borne

Give place un­to rest at the break of the morn.
