O aching heart, with sorrow torn, Thy Lord is near and knows ! He knows it all -----the feet way-worn, The weary cares and woes, The load of grief in anguish borne, Thy Lord is near: ... He knows.
He knows, . . He knows ; . . Thy Lord is near : He knows.
2. O fainting soul, with doubts oppressed, Thy Lord is near and knows ! He knows it all-----how thou art pressed On every side with foes, He waits to be thy cherished Guest ; Thy Lord is near: ... He knows.
3. O weary head, that fain would rest, Thy Lord is near and knows ! He knows it all, and on His breast Thou raayest now repose ; Drop every care at His behest ; Thy Lord is near : He knows.
4. O lonely one, live thou thy best, Thy Lord is near and knows ! He knows it all, sees every test----- Yes, every tear that flows : Rejoice, faint heart, His way is best ; Thy Lord is near : He knows.
