Does Jesus Care

Author: Frank E. Graeff, 1860-1919 Meter: 9.7.10.8 with refrain Appears in 191 hymnals Topics: Commission Comfort, Condolence First Line: Does Jesus care when my heart is pained Refrain First Line: Oh, yes, He cares, I know He cares! Lyrics: 1 Does Jesus care when my heart is pained Too deeply for mirth and song; As the burdens press, and the cares distress, And the way grows weary and long? Chorus: Oh, yes, He cares, I know he cares! His heart is touched with my grief; When the days are weary, the long nights dreary, I know my Saviour cares. 2 Does Jesus care when my way is dark With a nameless dread and fear? As the daylight fades into deep night shades, Does He care enough to be near? [Chorus] 3 Does Jesus care when I've tried and failed To resist some temptation strong; When for my deep grief I find no relief, Tho' my tears flow all the night long? [Chorus] 4 Does Jesus care when I've said "good-bye" To the dearest on earth to me, And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks— Is it aught to Him? Does he see? [Chorus] Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:4 Used With Tune: DOES JESUS CARE
