Refrain: He knows, He knows just what is best, I tell Him all my heart’s unrest, While to His bosom fondly pressed, For God knows what is best. 2 The vanities of earth I sought, Its pleasures to my heart I brought, But all my spirit sadly taught That God knows what is best. [Refrain] 3 My heart would quit the toilsome way, Nor with the earthly longer stay. I long to bask in endless day; But God knows what is best.
