Representative Text

1 Tell the Saviour all about it;
Tell it, do not be afraid!
Humbly bow and make confession
Of your ev'ry fault and need.
Tell the Saviour all about it,
He will hear it, ev'ry word;
Ev'ry sigh and groan and heartache
Will be sacred to the Lord.

Refrain:
Tell it! do not be afraid!
Tell Him ev'ry fault and need;
Trust His love, He loves you still;
He'll forgive you, yes, He will.

2 Tell the Saviour all about it;
Tell it now, nor longer dread;
Take, oh take your sorrows to Him:
He is love! be not afraid!
Tell Him, tell Him all about it;
He will wipe the tears away,
He will cleanse the guilty conscience,
Take it to Him oh today. [Refrain]

3 Tell the Saviour all about it;
He will make the crooked straight;
Leave it with Him, cast it on Him,
He can bear its crushing weight.
Tell the Saviour all about it,
Then don't do so anymore;
He will wash you; He will love you
Just as greatly as before. [Refrain]
