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 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 My Lord, I bless Thee now For the great gift of sorrow That no one knows but Thou Nobody knows but Jesus Is it not better so That no one else but Jesus My own dear Lord, shall know?
