Lyics

GO bury thy sorrow,

The world hath its share;

Go bury it deeply,

Go hide it with care;

Go think of it calmly,

When curtain'd by night;

Go tell it to Jesus,

And all will be right.



Go tell it to Jesus,

He knoweth thy grief;

Go tell it to Jesus,

He'll send thee relief.

Go gather the sunshine

He sheds on the way;

He'll lighten thy burden,

Go, weary one, pray.



Hearts growing a-weary

With heavier woe

Now droop 'mid the darkness--

Go comfort them, go!

Go bury thy sorrows,

Let others be blest;

Go give them the sunshine,

Tell Jesus the rest.
