Thou knowest, Lord, Thou knowest all about me, And all the winding way my feet have trod; And now Thou know'st I cannot go without Thee, To guide me onward through the swelling flood.
2. Thou know'st my way---how lone, how dark, how cheerless, If Thy dear hand I fail in all to see : Bright with Thy smile of love, my heart is fearless, When in my weakness I can lean on Thee.
3. Give me Thy presence ! Go Thou, Lord, before me, Make a plain path where all is rough and drear; [o'er me, So let me trust the love that watches And in the shadows still believe Thee near.
