1 When you know my blessed Saviour,
Life will wear a different hue,
Through the many clouds of trouble,
You will see the starry blue.

Refrain:
When you know Him, when you know Him,
When you know Him you will love my Saviour too;
When you know Him, O how you’ll love Him,
When you know how Jesus loves and cares for you.

2 When you know my blessed Saviour,
All your fear will pass away
Like the dew before the sunshine,
At the breaking of the day. [Refrain]

3 When you know my blessed Saviour,
Memory will bring the tears;
When you think of how He loved you,
Through the dark and wasted years. [Refrain]
