Poems (Angier)/Go, Tell it to Jesus
GO, TELL IT TO JESUS.
Go, tell it to Jesus, Thy want and thy woe;When the soul in its anguish Asks—Where shall I go?The voice that spoke "Peace" To the wild, raging sea,In tender tone whispers, Come, come unto me— Go, tell it to Jesus.
Go, tell it to Jesus, Thy sorrow and sin;The ark of His love Takes the weary dove in,Whate'er be thy burden, Whatever thy care,Strength, succor, and shelter, Thou'lt find them all there— Go, tell it to Jesus.
Go, tell it to Jesus, Ne'er closed is His ear;E'en the cry of the raven He deigneth to hear.His pity will soothe thee, His pardon shall save,His grace bid thee triumph O'er death and the grave Go, tell it to Jesus.
