1 Oh hearts that ache, and bleed, and break,
God knows the depths of all thy woes;
He will Him­self thy bur­dens take,
And shield thee from the heav­iest blows.

Refrain:
God knows thy need, He will sup­ply;
He know­eth what for thee is best;
Soon thou shalt see with clear­er eye,
Soon en­ter His eter­nal rest.

2 Tho’ oth­er eyes be dull and blind,
To mark thy grief, to note thy tear,
He sees; His heart is true and kind;
He ev­ery pray­er is swift to hear. [Refrain]

3 Tho’ dark the clouds ab­ove thy head,
The heav’ns be­yond are full of light;
Dismiss thy fears, sup­press thy dread;
For thee the days are bright ahead. [Refrain]
