132. Does Jesus Care?

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?

Chorus:
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 Savior cares. (He 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? [Chorus]

3 Does Jesus care when I've tried and failed
To resist some temptation strong?
When for my deep grief I find no relief,
Tho' my tears flow all the night long? [Chorus]

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? [Chorus]
