Author: Miss Julia H. Johnston Hymnal: Crowning Glory No. 1 #123 (1890) First Line: O, soul in want and sorrow Lyrics: 1 O, soul in want and sorrow,
The word of comfort heed;
And trust your Heav'nly Father,
Who knoweth ye have need.
Chorus:
He knoweth ye have need,
He knoweth ye have need,
In tenderness He watches,
He knoweth ye have need.
2 When far from God you wander
In sin and doubt and fear,
He sees your need of pardon,
He longs to bring you near. [Chorus]
3 In darkness and in danger,
His word of promise plead,
O! flee to your Redeemer
Who knoweth ye have need. [Chorus]
4 He knoweth all your burden,
The strife, and toil, and care;
O! lay your wants on Jesus,
Who waits your load to bear. [Chorus]
5 When torn with pain and longing,
Your hearts in anguish bleed,
The Comforter is near you,
He knoweth ye have need. [Chorus] Scripture: Matthew 6:32 Languages: English Tune Title: [O, soul in want and sorrow]
He Knoweth Ye Have Need
