Bowed beneath your burden, is
there none to share?
Weary with the journey, is there
none to care?
Courage, wayworn traveler, heed
your Lord’s
commands,
There’s a thought to cheer you,
Jesus understands.
Refrain
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.
Every 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.
Refrain
Though 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.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
