Author: Maud F. Jackson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14800 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6.8.6.8.6 First Line: I once was sad and lonely Refrain First Line: Whate’er may go, this do I know Lyrics: 1 I once was sad and lonely,
No hope my heart could see;
I thought that I was friendless,
That no one cared for me;
But clouds away were driven,
No more my heart despairs,
For I, His cross beholding,
Have found that Jesus cares.
Refrain:
Whate’er may go, this do I know,
My Lord abides for aye;
He cares for me, He bears for me,
The burdens of the day.
2 Before me still are trials,
Yet I need have no fear,
Since Jesus, friend unfailing,
To me is ever near;
With joy my heart is singing,
As on my way I fare,
To know I’m not forgotten,
To know my Lord doth care. [Refrain]
3 It matters not how dreary
May be the path you tread,
This friend can take your sorrow
And give you joy instead;
Oh, bring sins to Jesus,
Your burdens and your cares,
And learn how great His kindness,
How much the Savior cares. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: NANTUCKET
I've Found That Jesus Cares
