Tell Jesus.

WHEN thy Spirit is depress’d,
When thou art for sin distreas’d,
And thou think’st thyself unbless’d,
Fear not to unload thy grief:
He alone can give relief,
And can make thy sorrows brief―
If by doubts thy soul’s assailed,
And thy faith has almost fail’d,
Flee to Him whose prayer prevailed,
Should thy brother’s footsteps stray
From the strait and narrow way,
Do not thou his faults display,
When thy earthly joys abound,
Sorrow far from thee be found,
Gladness all thy steps surround,
