211. Somehow, I Know

1 Somehow, I know that Jesus guides
My soul along the upward way;
Somehow, I know He safely hides
Me from the tempter day by day.

Refrain:
Somehow, I know that He is mine;
(Somehow, I know, I know that He is mine;)
Somehow, I know that we shall meet,
(Somehow, I know, I know that we shall meet)
Where with His glory we shall shine (ever shine,)
And joy will be complete.

2 Somehow, He shares each earthly ill,
Each care that comes along the way;
somehow, 'tis joy to do His will
And try to please Him ev'ry day. [Chorus]

3 Somehow, I know that He is near
When pain would rob me of my song;
Somehow, I catch His words of cheer
that linger with me all day long. [Chorus]
