339. 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.

Chorus:
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. [Chorus]

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

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