74. He Knows!

1 He knows the bitter, weary way,
The endless striving, day by day,
The souls that weep, the souls that pray,
Jesus knows, he know.

Refrain:
Jesus knows, yes he knows,
He knows the bitter weary way,
The souls that weep, the souls that pray,
Jesus knows, he know.

2 He knows how hard the fight hath been,
The clouds that come our lives between,
The wounds the world hath never seen.
Jesus knows, he know. [Refrain]

3 He knows, O thought so full of bliss!
For though on earth our joy we miss,
We still can bear it, feeling this.
Jesus knows, he know. [Refrain]

4 He knows! O, heart, take up thy cross,
And know earth’s treasures are but dross,
And He will prove as gain our loss!
Jesus knows, he know. [Refrain]
