Jesus Knows Thy Sorrow

Jesus knows thy sor­row

Knows thine ev­ery care;

Knows thy deep con­tri­tion

Hears thy feeb­lest pray­er;

Do not fear to trust Him—

Tell Him all thy grief;

Cast on Him thy bur­den

He will bring re­lief.

Trust the heart of Je­sus

Thou art pre­cious there;

Surely He would shield thee

From the tempt­er’s snare;

Safely He would lead thee

By His own sweet way

Out into the glo­ry

Of a bright­er day.

Jesus knows thy con­flict

Hears thy bur­dened sigh;

When thy heart is wound­ed

Hears thy plaint­ive cry;

He thy soul will strength­en

Overcome thy fears;

He will send thee com­fort

Wipe away thy tears.
