Return to Eight-Bell Hymns (General)

Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen – Eight handbells

Negro spirituals are a vibrant and poignant expression of faith from over a century ago. This one speaks of complete reliance on a Savior who cares and comforts even in the most difficult of circumstances.

Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen / Nobody knows but Jesus
Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen / Glory, Hallelujah

Sometimes I’m up and sometimes I’m down
Yes, Lord, you know sometimes I’m almost to the ground
Oh, yes, Lord, still

If you get there before I do
Oh, yes, Lord, don’t forget to tell all my friends I’m coming too
Oh, yes, Lord, still…
