I Will Tell Jesus

lyricist: Julia Johnston, 1884
Composer: Lucy Meyer

I’ve a dear Sav­ior

rea­dy to list­en

Bending to hear me from on high;

Even the hum­blest Je­sus will wel­come

Every low whis­per finds Him nigh.

I will tell Je­sus

I will tell Je­sus

He is my friend

my Sav­ior

king;

I will tell Je­sus

I will tell Je­sus

I will tell Je­sus ev­ery­thing.

When I am joy­ous

in the glad sun­shine

I will tell Him who loves me so;

Surely my Sav­ior wait­eth to hear it

Every sweet sec­ret He shall know.

When I’m in dan­ger

when I’m in dark­ness

Tempted to think no help­er near

Still I’ll run to Him

tell Him the sto­ry

Ask Him to keep from harm and fear.

Trouble and sor­row drive me to Je­sus

Whom be­side Him

on earth

have I?

Others may love me

Je­sus can save me

Jesus will hear me when I cry.

If I am tempt­ed

if I dis­trust Him

If I for­get and go as­tray

Still I’ll re­turn and tell it to Je­sus

Ask Him to keep me ev­ery day.
