Sheet music
- 1He knows the bitter, weary way,The endless strivings day by day,The souls that weep, the souls that pray,He knows, (He knows,) He knows. (He knows.)He knows how hard the fight has been,The clouds that come our lives between,The wounds the world has never seen,He knows, (He knows,) He knows. (He knows.)
- 2He knows when faint and worn we sink,How deep the pain, how near the brinkOf dark despair, we pause and shrink,He knows, (He knows,) He knows. (He knows.)He knows, O tho’t so full of bliss!For tho’ on earth our joys we miss,We still can bear it feeling this,He knows, (He knows,) He knows. (He knows.)
