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!
