God Knows Thy Need

Oh hearts that ache

and bleed

and break

God knows the depths of all thy woes;

He will Him­self thy bur­dens take

And shield thee from the heav­iest blows.

God knows thy need

He will sup­ply;

He know­eth what for thee is best;

Soon thou shalt see with clear­er eye

Soon en­ter His eter­nal rest.

Tho’ oth­er eyes be dull and blind

To mark thy grief

to note thy tear

He sees; His heart is true and kind;

He ev­ery pray­er is swift to hear.

Tho’ dark the clouds ab­ove thy head

The heav’ns be­yond are full of light;

Dismiss thy fears

sup­press thy dread;

For thee the days are bright ahead.
