Sheet music

  1. 1Does Jesus care when my heart is painedToo deeply for mirth or song;As the burdens press, and the cares distress,And the way grows weary and long?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 Savior cares.(He cares.)
  2. 2Does Jesus care when my way is darkWith a nameless dread and fear?As the daylight fades into deep night shades,Does He care enough to be near?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 Savior cares.(He cares.)
  3. 3Does Jesus care when I’ve tried and failedTo resist some temptation strong;When for my deep grief I find no relief,Tho’ my tears flow all the night long?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 Savior cares.(He cares.)
  4. 4Does Jesus care when I’ve said “goodbye”To the dearest on earth to me,And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks–Is it aught to Him? Does He see?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 Savior cares.(He cares.)
