| 1. Go bury thy sorrow,
the world hath its share;
Go bury it deeply,
go hide it with care.
Go think of it calmly,
when curtained by night;
Go tell it to Jesus,
and all will be right.
2. Go tell it to Jesus,
He knoweth thy grief;
Go tell it to Jesus,
He’ll send thee relief;
Go gather the sunshine
He sheds on the way:
He’ll lighten thy burden—
Go, weary one, pray.
3. Hearts growing aweary
with heavier woe
Now droop ’mid the darkness—
Go, comfort them, go!
Go bury thy sorrow,
let others be blessed;
Go give them the sunshine,
tell Jesus the rest.
