New Songs of Pentecost No. 3 ‎#5

5. He Knows; It is Enough

1 Tho’ dark the path may sometimes seem,
And shadows drear be o’er our way,
We do not know why tears and pains
Should hide from us the light of day.

Refrain:
God knows, He knows,
God knows; it is enough for me;
He knows, and so I am content,
God knows, He knows.

2 Life’s mysteries so oft perplex,
Our wav’ring faith is sorely tried,
We see but clouds where should be sun,
And hope within our hearts has died. [Refrain]

3 When lov’d ones beyond the vale,
And doubts and fears before us rise,
We wonder why our hopes are crush’d,
And tears bedim our weary eyes. [Refrain]

4 Ah, yes, God knows; it is enough,
He knows; be true in ev’ry test;
Some blessed day we’ll understand,
And know that all God’s ways were best. [Refrain]
