I Must Tell Jesus

1 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.  

Refrain:  
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.  

2 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. [Refrain]  

3 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 vict'ry to win. [Refrain]
