My Father Knows (Henry)

lyricist: Sarepta Henry, 1897
Composer: William Martin (1864–1914)

I know my heav’nly Fa­ther knows

The storms that would my way op­pose;

But He can drive the clouds away

And turn the dark­ness in­to day.

I know my heav’n­ly Fa­ther knows

The balm I need to soothe my woes;

And with His touch of love di­vine

He heals this wound­ed heart of mine.

I know my heav’nl­y Fa­ther knows

How frail I am to meet my foes;

But He my cause will e’er de­fend

Uphold and keep me to the end.

I know my heav’n­ly Fa­ther knows

The hour my jour­ney here will close;

And may that hour

O faith­ful Guide

Find me safe shel­tered by Thy side.
