Sing a Hymn to Jesus

Sing a hymn to Je­sus when the heart is faint

Tell it all to Je­sus

com­fort or com­plaint.

If the work is sor­row

if the way is long

If thou dread’st the mor­row

tell it Him in song;

Though thy heart be ach­ing for the crown and palm

Keep thy spir­its wak­ing with a thank­ful psalm.

Jesus

we are low­ly

Thou art ve­ry high;

We are all un­ho­ly

Thou art pur­ity;

We are frail and fleet­ing

Thou art still the same;

All life’s joys are meet­ing in Thy bless­èd name.

Sing a hymn to Je­sus when the heart is faint

Tell it all to Je­sus

com­fort or comp­laint.

All His words are mu­sic

though they make me weep

Infinitely ten­der

in­fi­nite­ly deep.

Time can nev­er ren­der all in Him I see;

Infinitely ten­der

hu­man de­ity.

Sing a hymn to Je­sus when the heart is faint

Tell it all to Je­sus

com­fort or com­plaint.

Jesus

let me love Thee

in­fi­nite­ly sweet

What are the poor od­ors I bring to Thy feet?

Yet I tru­ly love Thee; come in­to my heart

And ere long re­move me to be where Thou art.

Thus I sing to Je­sus when my heart is faint;

So I tell to Je­sus com­fort or com­plaint.
