O aching heart, with sorrow torn,
Thy Lord is near and knows;
He knows it all— the feet wayworn,
The weary cares and woes,
The load of grief in anguish borne,
Thy Lord is near; He knows.

O fainting soul, with doubts oppressed,
Thy Lord is near and knows;
He knows it all— how thou art oppressed
On ev’ry side with foes,
He waits to be thy cherished Guest;
Thy Lord is near; He knows.

O 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;
Thy Lord is near; He knows.

O 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.

Refrain:
He knows, He knows,
Thy Lord is near, He knows.
