1. When dark and stormy is the way, When sin besets on every hand, There???s One who???ll be your friend and stay??? Tell Jesus, He will understand. * Refrain: Tell Jesus, with the thorn-crowned brow, The riven side and wounded hand; Tell Jesus, when to Him you bow??? Tell Jesus, He will understand. 2. No one there is who better knows The sorrows of this earthly land; He bears the cross of all our woes??? Tell Jesus, He will understand. 3. Your heavy burdens He will share, And guard you with His angel band; Oh, cast on Him your every care??? Tell Jesus, He will understand. 4. When all your labors here are o???er And at the river???s brink you stand, Fear not, nor dread the breaker???s roar??? Tell Jesus, He will understand.
