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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.
