8587. He Knows

1 Oh, 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,
The Lord is near, He knows.

Refrain:
He knows, He knows,
Thy Lord is near, He knows.

2 Oh, 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;
The Lord is near, He knows. [Refrain]

3 Oh, weary head, that fain would rest,
Thy Lord is near and knows;
He knows it all, and on His breast
Thou mayest now repose;
Drop every care at His behest,
The Lord is near, He knows. [Refrain]

4 Oh, 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. [Refrain]
