When suffering seems much more than thou canst bear,
And tribulations seem to be thy share,
Thy mind is weighted down with worldly care:
God knows it all.
He gives His angels charge over all thy ways,
And marks the progress of thine earthly days,
As through thy pain He hears thy weakest praise,
Thy faintest call.
So trust Him, though the way seems dark and lone;
Just ask for bread! He will not give a stone.
Nor will He ever leave thee all alone.
He knows and cares.
