Thou Knowest, Lord (Borthwick) (EN 4472)

EN 4472 Thou Knowest, Lord (Borthwick)

John.16.30

Versi Version 1

1

Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow

Of the sad heart that comes to Thee for rest;

Cares of today, and burdens for tomorrow,

Blessings implored, and sins to be confessed;

I come before Thee at Thy gracious word,

And lay them at Thy feet: Thou knowest, Lord.

2

Thou knowest all the present: each temptation,

Each toilsome duty, each foreboding fear;

All to myself assigned of tribulation,

Or to beloved ones than self more dear;

All pensive memories, as I journey on,

Longings for vanished smiles and voices gone.

3

Thou knowest all the future: gleams of gladness

By stormy clouds too quickly overcast;

Hours of sweet fellowship, and parting sadness,

And the dark river to be crossed at last;

O what could confidence and hope afford

To tread that path, but this, Thou knowest, Lord!

4

Thou knowest, not alone as God, all knowing;

As man, our mortal weakness Thou has proved:

On earth, with purest sympathies o’erflowing,

O Savior, Thou hast wept, and Thou hast loved;

And love and sorrow still to Thee may come,

And find a hiding place, a rest, a home.

5

Therefore I come, Thy gentle call obeying,

And lay my sins and sorrows at Thy feet;

On everlasting Strength my weakness staying,

Clothed in Thy robe of righteousness complete:

Then rising and refreshed I leave Thy throne,

And follow on to know as I am known.
