He Knows (Dietrich)

lyricist: Emma Dietrich, 1901
Composer: Edward Fuller

Oh

ach­ing heart

with sor­row torn

Thy Lord is near and knows;

He knows it all—the feet way worn

The wea­ry cares and woes

The load of grief in ang­uish borne

The Lord is near

He knows.

He knows

He knows

Thy Lord is near

He knows.

Oh

faint­ing soul

with doubts op­pressed

Thy Lord is near and knows;

He knows it all—how thou art pressed

On ev­ery side with foes;

He waits to be thy cher­ished guest;

The Lord is near

He knows.

Oh

wea­ry head

that fain would rest

Thy Lord is near and knows;

He knows it all

and on His breast

Thou may­est now re­pose;

Drop ev­ery care at His behest

The Lord is near

He knows.

Oh

lone­ly one

live thou thy best

Thy Lord is near and knows;

He knows it all

sees ev­ery test

Yes

ev­ery tear that flows;

Rejoice

faint heart

His way is best

Thy Lord is near

He knows.
