11754. Nobody Knows But Jesus

1 Nobody knows but Jesus:
’Tis but an old refrain;
But it is new to my heart,
Now as it comes again.

Refrain:
Nobody knows but Jesus:
Is it not better so,
That no one else but Jesus,
My own dear Lord, shall know?

2 Nobody knows but Jesus:
’Tis music for today,
And thro’ the hardest trials
Helps me along the way. [Refrain]

3 Burdens might be so heavy
That dear ones could not bear
To know the bitter heartaches,
They could not come and share. [Refrain]

4 Nobody knows but Jesus:
My Lord, I bless Thee now
For the great gift of sorrow,
That no one knows but Thou. [Refrain]
