26. Jesus Knows and Cares

1 On life’s pathway are there crosses?
Jesus knows and cares;
Do you suffer heavy losses?
Jesus knows and cares;
Doth there come the hour of weeping,
Treasures vanish from your keeping,
Bitter pain your heart be reaping?
Jesus knows and cares.

2 Tho’ life’s shadows dark are falling,
Jesus knows and cares;
Tho’ the future seems appalling,
Jesus knows and cares;
Tho’ the years their griefs are bringing,
Hushing ev’ry voice of singing,
Fear ye not, the cry is ringing,
Jesus knows and cares.

3 When the eventide is nearing,
Jesus knows and cares;
When the light is disappearing,
Jesus knows and cares;
When with tears the eyes are filling,
Anguish deep the soul is thrilling,
Peace he brings, his heart is willing;
Jesus knows and cares.

4 Are you heavy burdens bearing,
Jesus knows and cares;
Gladly all your sorrow sharing,
Jesus knows and cares;
Tho’ your life be filled with crying,
Pleasures vanished, joys be dying,
Yet look up beyond the sighing,
Jesus knows and cares.
