Lyrics

If Christ the Re­deem­er has par­doned your sin,
Tell it wher­ev­er you go;
If into your dark­ness His light has shown in,
Tell it wher­ev­er you go.

Refrain

Tell it, tell it,
Tell it wher­ev­er you go;
If you would win oth­ers from sin and from woe,
Tell it wher­ev­er you go.

If now you are hap­py with Christ as your guide,
Tell it wher­ev­er you go;
If He is your friend, and with Him you abide,
Tell it wher­ev­er you go.

Refrain

When trou­bles as­sail, do you trust in Him still?
Tell it wher­ev­er you go;
When sor­rows o’er­whelm, do you sink in His will?
Tell it wher­ev­er you go.

Refrain

If you are an heir to a man­sion on high,
Tell it wher­ev­er you go;
Until you find rest in that home in the sky,
Tell it wher­ev­er you go.
