1. Go to Jesus with thy sorrows,
He thy burdened soul will ease;
He will give thy troubled conscience
A sweet sense of pardoning peace.
Refrain:
Go to Jesus, go to Jesus,
Lean upon His loving breast;
Go to Jesus, go to Jesus,
He will give thy spirit rest.
2. Go to Jesus with thy trials,
Tell Him all thy cares and woes;
He has promised, if we ask Him,
He will give us sweet repose. [Refrain]
3. Go to Jesus when the tempter
Seeks to lure thee from the right;
When the wicked one assails thee,
Ever keep the cross in sight. [Refrain]
4. Go to Jesus when thy burdens
Are too hard for thee to bear;
Tell Him all thy cares and sorrows,
He will lend a listening ear. [Refrain]
5. Go to Jesus when death’s shadows
Quickly gather round thy way;
Ask of Him to guide thy footsteps
To the realms of endless day. [Refrain]
6. Then, in that celestial city,
Thou shalt find a lasting rest
From earth’s turmoil, cares and sorrows,
With the saints forever blest. [Refrain]
