The New Praiseworthy ‎#191

191. Somebody Knows

1 Failing in strength when opprest by my foes,
Somebody knows, Somebody knows;
Waiting for someone to banish my woes,
Somebody knows,- ’tis Jesus.

Chorus or Quartet:
Somebody knows, Somebody knows,
When I am tempted and tried by my foes;
He is the One who will keep me—
Somebody knows—’tis Jesus.

2 Why should I fear when the care-billows roll?
Somebody knows, Somebody knows;
When the deep shadows sweep over my soul,
Somebody knows,- ’tis Jesus. [Chorus]

3 Wounded and helpless and sick with distress,
Somebody knows, Somebody knows,
Longing for home and a mother’s caress,
Somebody knows,- ’tis Jesus. [Cborus]
