Lyrics

When your heart with life’s burdens is weary,
And the pathway around you is drear,
There is one who is always beside you,
Your cry of distress He will hear.

Refrain

Go tell your story to Je­sus,
He is your Sav­ior and guide;
He came from above, in infinite love,
To save you on Calv’ry He died;
Trusting this gracious Re­deem­er,
You may your courage renew;
Go tell your story to Je­sus,
Find out how much He loves you.

Come to Me is the kind invitation
Of Je­sus, your Sav­ior and Lord;
Lean on Him, there is rest in His bosom,
Find comfort in His holy Word.

Refrain

When the trials of life are all ended,
When you reach the glad home of the blest,
You will dwell in the glo­ry with Je­sus,
Forever with Him you will rest.
