Jesus Understands

Bow'd beneath your burden,

is there none to share?

Weary with the journey,

is there none to care?

Courage, way-worn trav'ler,

heed your Lord's commands,

There's a tho't to cheer you,

Jesus understands.

Yes He understands,

All His ways are best.

Hear, He calls to you,

"Come to me and rest."

Leave the unknown future

in the Master's hand,

Whether sad or joyful,

Jesus understands.

Ev'ry heavy burden

He will gladly share,

Are you sad and weary?

Jesus has a care;

Well He knows the pathway

o'er life's burning sands,

Courage, fainting pilgrim,

Jesus understands.

Tho' temptation meet you,

Jesus can sustain,

Life has vexing problems

which He can explain;

Serve Him where He sends you

though in distant lands,

Do not doubt or question,

Jesus understands.

Weary heart He calls you,

"Come to me and rest,"

Does the path grow rugged?

Yet His way is best;

Leave the unknown future

in the Master's hands,

Whether sad or joyful,

Jesus understands.
