1 No one knows but Jesus
How sinful I have been;
No one knows but Jesus
All my heart within;
No one knows but Jesus
My conflicts day by day;
No one like Jesus
Guideth my way.
No one like Jesus
Temptation can feel;
No one like Jesus
My sorrow can heal;
No one knows but Jesus
My conflicts day by day;
No one like Jesus
Guideth my way.

2 No one knows but Jesus
How oft His name I plead;
No one knows but Jesus
Everything I need;
No one knows but Jesus
How humble I would be;
No one like Jesus
Careth for me;
No one like Jesus
Will comfort and cheer,
Pity my weakness
And banish my fear.
No one knows but Jesus
How humble I would be;
No one like Jesus
Careth for me.

3 No one else like Jesus
So ready to forgive—
Pledge and promise broken
Nearer Him to live;
No one knows but Jesus
The secret tears that fall;
No one like Jesus
Hears when I call.
No one but Jesus
My refuge shall be;
No one will love me
So dearly as He.
No one knows but Jesus
The secret tears that fall;
No one like Jesus
Hears when I call.

Author: W. Howard Doane

An industrialist and philanthropist, William H. Doane (b. Preston, CT, 1832; d. South Orange, NJ, 1915), was also a staunch supporter of evangelistic campaigns and a prolific writer of hymn tunes. He was head of a large woodworking machinery plant in Cincinnati and a civic leader in that city. He showed his devotion to the church by supporting the work of the evangelistic team of Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey and by endowing Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and Denison University in Granville, Ohio. An amateur composer, Doane wrote over twenty-two hundred hymn and gospel song tunes, and he edited over forty songbooks. Bert Polman… Go to person page >
