LyicsHE KNOWS the bitter, weary way,
The endless striving day by day,
The souls that weep, the souls that pray-
He knows it all.
He knows how hard the fight has been,
The clouds that come our lives between,
The wounds the world has never seen-
He knows it all.
He knows, when, faint and worn, we sink,
How deep the pain, how near the brink.
Of dark despair we pause and shrink-
He knows it all.
He knows! O thought so full of bliss!
For though on earth our joys we miss,
We still can bear it, feeling this-
He knows it all.
