(Psalm 1:6; 2 Tim. 2:19.)
“JESUS KNOWS.” What words of comfort!
When the heart is filled with woe:
Jesus loves, and Jesus careth,
This should be enough to know.
“JESUS KNOWS” when fierce temptation
Suddenly attacks the soul:
Jesus! only gives the victory
To the one He hath made whole.
“JESUS KNOWS” when waves of sorrow
In upon my spirit roll:
Jesus all my trouble shareth,
He doth comfort and console.
“JESUS KNOWS” when utter weakness,
Leaves me prostrate in the dust:
Jesus gives the grace sufficient,
For in Him is all my trust.
“JESUS KNOWS” when all is darkness,
And the way I cannot see:
Jesus whispers I am with thee,
This is quite enough for me.
“JESUS KNOWS.” Then calmly onward
Day by day I safely go:
Jesus keeping, Jesus guiding,
While He leaves me here below.
Then I’ll rise to realms of glory,
I shall gaze on Him I’ve known,
And the need for every trial,
Shall to me be fully shown.
