224. He Knows It All

1 I love to think my Father knows
Why I have missed the path I chose,
And that I soon shall clearly see
The way He led was best for me.

Chorus:
He knows it all, He knows it all
My Father knows He knows it all
Thy bitter tears how fast they fall!-
He knows, My Father knows it all.

2 I love to think my Father knows
The thorns I pluck with ev'ry rose,
The daily griefs I seek to hide
From the dear souls I walk beside. [Chorus]

3 I love to think my Father knows
The strength or weakness of my foes;
And that I need but stand and see
Each conflict end in victory. [Chorus]
