I Must Tell Jesus

Composer: Elisha Hoffman, 1893

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.

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.

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 me

Over the world the vic­to­ry to win.
