1 Broken in spirit
And laden with care,
Sweet is thy refuge:
Find it in prayer.

Refrain:
Tell it to Jesus,
Tell it to Jesus,
Tell it to Jesus,
He will give release.

2 Art thou neglected
And sighing to know
Joys that in friendship
Tenderly flow? [Refrain]

3 Art thou recalling
The years that have fled?
Weeping in sorrow,
Mourning the dead? [Refrain]

4 Bear thy affliction,
Whatever it be;
Jesus thy Savior
Bore it for thee. [Refrain]
