Tell Jesus.

From: The Evangelist: Volume 2 (New Series)

Mark 6:30³⁰And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. (Mark 6:30).

WHEN thy Spirit is depress’d,

When thou art for sin distreas’d,

And thou think’st thyself unbless’d,

Go, tell Jesus all.Matt. 5:4⁴Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (Matthew 5:4).

Fear not to unload thy grief:

He alone can give relief,

And can make thy sorrows brief―

Go, tell Jesus all.Phil. 4:6⁶Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. (Philippians 4:6).

When temptation tries thee sore,

Though thou scarce canst struggle more,

In His ear thy trouble pour:

Yes, tell Jesus all.Heb. 4:15, 16¹⁵For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. ¹⁶Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:15‑16).

If by doubts thy soul’s assailed,

And thy faith has almost fail’d,

Flee to Him whose prayer prevailed,

And tell Jesus all.Luke 22:32³²But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. (Luke 22:32).

If thy way so darksome prove, ―

Hidden be His smile of love,

He can all those clouds remove:

So, tell Jesus all.Isaiah 50:10¹⁰Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon his God. (Isaiah 50:10).

Should thy brother’s footsteps stray

From the strait and narrow way,

Do not thou his faults display,

But tell Jesus all.Gal. 6:1¹Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. (Galatians 6:1); Jam. 5:16.

When thy earthly joys abound,

Sorrow far from thee be found,

Gladness all thy steps surround,

Then tell Jesus all.1 Thess. 5:18¹⁸In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

Joy and gladness ne’er shall bring

Happiness, unless they spring

From thy Lord, thy Life, the King;

So, tell Jesus all.Col. 2:2²That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; (Colossians 2:2)

When we rest in heaven at last

All our sins and trials past,

And our crowns before Him cast,

Well tell Jesus all. Rev. 4:10; 5:9, 10¹⁰The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (Revelation 4:10)
⁹And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; ¹⁰And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. (Revelation 5:9‑10).
