Tell Jesus (Martin)

When the deep sha­dows lin­ger around you

When the dark clouds hide all the blue sky

Let not your griefs one mo­ment con­found you;

All your heart needs the Lord will sup­ply.

Whisper your trou­bles sof­tly to Je­sus

Tell Him what brings you grief and dis­tress;

Tell all the pains and loss­es to Je­sus

It is His joy to com­fort and bless.

Hindered by doubt or pressed by temp­ta­tion

When your bright faith grows mis­ty or dim

Ask God for strength and sweet con­so­la­tion

Go to the Sav­ior

tell it to Him.

O

there is com­fort for ev­ery sor­row

There is re­ward for la­bor and pain

Night sha­dows go at dawn of the mor­row

Clouds quick­ly pass

but bless­ings re­main.
