I must tell J all of my trials;
I cannot bear these burdens alone;
In my distress He kindly will help me;
He ever loves and cares for His own.
I must tell J! I must tell J!
I cannot bear my burdens alone;
I must tell J all of my troubles;
He is a kind, compassionate friend;
If I but ask Him, He will deliver,
Make of my troubles quickly an end. (This too shall pass)
Tempted and tried, I need a great Savior;
One Who can help my burdens to bear;
I must tell J, I must tell J;
He all my cares and sorrows will share.
O how the world to evil allures me!
O how my heart is tempted to sin!
I must tell J, and He will help me
Over the world the victory to win.
Take Time
Take time to be holy, speak oft with thy L;
Abide in Him always, and feed on His Word.
Make friends of G's children, help those who are weak,
Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek. Take time to be holy, the world rushes on;
Spend much time in secret, with J alone.
By looking to J, like Him thou shalt be;
Thy friends in thy conduct His likeness shall see.Take time to be holy, let Him be thy Guide;
And run not before Him, whatever betide.
In joy or in sorrow, still follow the L,
And, looking to J, still trust in His Word. Take time to be holy, be calm in thy soul,
Each thought and each motive beneath His control.
Thus led by His Spirit to fountains of love,
Thou soon shalt be fitted for service above.
