BURY THY SORROW

"They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." Isaiah 35:10

Words: Mary A. Bachelor, in Sacred Songs & Solos, 888 Pieces, by Ira D. Sankey (London: Morgan & Scott, Ld), late 19th Century.
Music: Philip Paul Bliss (1838-1876).

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.

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.

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.
