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
