My Father Knows

Author: Margie H. Benton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8273 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: My Father knows just what is best Refrain First Line: O yes, He knows, my Father knows Lyrics: 1 My Father knows just what is best, Knows what I need, and then the rest Withholds with His unerring hands; My Father knows: He understands. Refrain: O yes, He knows, my Father knows; Whate’er my joys, whate’er my woes, I place myself in His dear hands, For this I know: He understands. 2 My Father knows just why ’tis best That I sometimes should find no rest; Why I am called thro’ trying fires, Why I’m denied my heart’s desires. [Refrain] 3 My Father knows just when ’tis best To call me unto heav’nly rest; For me to cease my labors here, And dwell within His presence dear. [Refrain] 4 Then, knowing that my Father knows, I’ll fear no trials here, nor foes; Whatever comes, whate’er befall, My comfort is that He knows all. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: STAVANGER
