516. Does Jesus care when my heart is pained

1 Does Jesus care when my heart is pained
too deeply for mirth and song,
as the burdens press, and the cares distress,
and the way grows weary and long?

Refrain:
O yes, he cares;
I know he cares!
His heart is touched with my grief.
When the days are weary,
the long nights dreary;
I know my Saviour cares.

2 Does Jesus care when my way is dark
with a nameless dread and fear?
As the daylight fades into deep night shades,
does he care enough to be near? [Refrain]

3 Does Jesus care when I’ve tried and failed
to resist some temptation strong;
when for my deep grief I find no relief,
though my tears flow all the night long? [Refrain]

4 Does Jesus care when I’ve said goodby
to the dearest on earth to me,
and my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks:
is it aught to him? Does he see? [Refrain]
