1 No one knows the burdens many hearts must ever bear,
No one like Jesus, No one like Jesus;
No one like the Savior can these heavy burdens share,
No one like Jesus, like Jesus.

Refrain:
No one knows the burdens many hearts must ever bear,
No one knows the sorrows and the heavy load of care,
No one like Jesus, no one like Jesus,
Then lay them on his loving heart,
He’ll bear them for thee there.

2 No one knows how sin has crushed the weary sinner’s heart,
No one like Jesus, No one like Jesus;
No one like the Savior can these burdens bid depart,
No one like Jesus, like Jesus. [Refrain]

3 No one knows how we are tempted as the days go by,
No one like Jesus, No one like Jesus;
No one like the Savior hears the broken-hearted cry,
No one like Jesus, like Jesus. [Refrain]

4 No one knows how glad he is to hear the sinner call,
No one but Jesus, No one but Jesus;
No one like the Savior loves to help us if we fall,
No one like Jesus, like Jesus. [Refrain]
