Every bit of grief and sorrow,
Jesus knows;
All the dreading of tomorrow;
Jesus knows.

All the sadness and the sighing;
Fading hopes around thee lying,
All the burden of the crying,
Jesus knows.

All thy bitter disappointments,
Jesus knows;
Crosses - that are His appointments;
Jesus knows.

Dost though cloud thy days with worry?
Take the cross He bids thee carry -
Not for long His aid will tarry,
Jesus knows.

Doubts and fears that so oppress thee;
Jesus knows;
Vain regrets that will distress thee;
Jesus knows.

Lonely hours from loved ones parted,
Loss, that leaves thee broken-hearted
And those tears that memory started,
Jesus knows.

Yes, thy very grief and sorrow;
Jesus knows;
From this thought sweet solace borrow;
Jesus knows.

He has promised not to fail thee;
Never leave thee nor forsake thee,
Oh to trust in Him completely,
Jesus Knows!
