Nobody knows but Jesus:
’Tis but an old refrain;
But it is new to my heart
Now as it comes again.
Nobody knows but Jesus:
Is it not better so
That no one else but Jesus
My own dear Lord
shall know?
Nobody knows but Jesus:
’Tis music for today
And thro’ the hardest trials
Helps me along the way.
Burdens might be so heavy
That dear ones could not bear
To know the bitter heartaches
They could not come and share.
Nobody knows but Jesus:
My Lord
I bless Thee now
For the great gift of sorrow
That no one knows but Thou.
