Singing by the Way (Rev. ed.) ‎#13

13. He Knows It All

1 He knows the bitter, weary way,
The endless striving day by day,
The souls that weep, the souls that pray –
He knows it all.

Refrain:
He knows it all!
The bitter weary way!
O souls that weep, O souls that pray,
He know it all!

2 He knows how hard the fight hath been,
The clouds that come our lives between,
The wounds the world has never seen –
He knows it all. [Refrain]

3 He knows, when, faint and worn, we sink,
How deep the pain, how near the brink
Of dark despair we pause and shrink –
He knows it all. [Refrain]

4 He knows! oh, tho't so full of bliss!
For tho' on earth our joys we miss,
We still can bear it feeling this –
He knows it all. [Refrain]
