I love hymns, especially old ones. I love taking beautiful, theologically rich words and giving them a new musical environment. This one, written by Jeremiah Rankin in 1828, is close to my heart. Jesus is as near to you as your breath.

Lyrics

Are you weary? Are you heavy-hearted?
Tell it to Jesus

Are you grieving over joys departed?
Tell it to Jesus

Do the tears flow down your cheeks unbidden?
Tell it to Jesus

Have you sins that to others' eyes are hidden?
Tell it to Jesus

Tell it to Jesus
Tell it to Jesus
He's a friend like you've never known
Tell it to Jesus alone

Do you fear the gathering clouds of sorrow?
Tell it to Jesus

Are you anxious what shall be tomorrow?
Tell it to Jesus

Tell it to Jesus
Tell it to Jesus
He's a friend like you've never known
Tell it to Jesus alone

Are you troubled at the thought of dying?
Tell it to Jesus

For Christ's coming kingdom are you sighing?
Tell it to Jesus

Tell it to Jesus
Tell it to Jesus
He's a friend like you've never known
He will never leave you alone
He will comfort you in His arms
Tell it to Jesus alone
