1 He knoweth thy grief,
He knoweth thy care,
He giveth relief,
Go find it in prayer.

Refrain:
He knoweth thy grief,
Each pang thou dost feel,
And all of thy wounds,
Thy Saviour will heal.

2 He knoweth thy pain,
Thy tears He doth see,
And never in vain,
Thy suff’ring shall be. [Refrain]

3 He knoweth it all,
The wearisome way,
And when thou dost all,
He’ll life thee each day. [Refrain]
