115. My Father Knows

1 He knows the trials of each day,
Tho’ shadows fall, He knows the way;
The eyes that weep, the hearts that pray,
He knows, my Father knows.

Refrain:
He knows, my Father knows,
And shields me from my foes,
From day to day He leads the way,
He knows, my Father knows.

2 Tho’ oft I seem to walk alone,
Life’s weary way with thorns o’ergrown,
His love has sealed me for His own,
He knows, my Father knows. [Refrain]

3 Upon His mighty arm I lean,
He helps me thro’ life’s changing scene,
From sin and strife He keeps me clean,
He knows, my Father knows. [Refrain]

4 His love, His love is past compare,
My ev’ry sorrow He doth share,
I cannot drift beyond His care,
He knows, my Father knows. [Refrain]
