22. Jesus Knows

1 Jesus knows my greatest trial,
And He knows my slightest care;
Not a shadow on life’s dial,
But is traced by Jesus there.

Refrain:
Jesus knows, yes, Jesus knows!
Heav’nly comfort for our woes!
Jesus knows, yes, Jesus knows!
And from Him my comfort flows.

2 Jesus knows when I am lonely,
And when earthly friendships cease;
Then it is that “Jesus only”
Is my deepest, sweetest peace. [Refrain]

3 Jesus knows my need of meekness
Patiently to suffer wrong;
And becomes my strength in weakness,
Till my moaning ends in song. [Refrain]

4 Jesus knows when I am weary
And my feet are travel-stained;
Thus the way is never dreary,
Till the journey’s end is gained. [Refrain]
