Tune:[Do they know we’ve been with Jesus]
Composer:Jno. R. Sweney

10. Do They Know?

1 Do they know we’ve been with Jesus,
With him in the silent prayer,
In the heart’s sweet meditation,
With him as his work we share.

Refrain:
More and more to be like Jesus,
Oh, be this our heart’s desire;
With him now, in work and watching,
With him when he calls us higher.

2 Do they know we’ve been with Jesus?
Tho’ the likeness may be dim,
Can they trace the Master’s image?
Do they say, we’ve learned of him? [Refrain]

3 Do they know we’ve been with Jesus?
Does our language ever prove
That we “seek a better country,”
That our treasure is above? [Refrain]

4 Do they know we’ve been with Jesus,
Living daily by his grace?
Can they catch some faint reflection
Of the light upon his face? [Refrain]
