God Understands

It is so sweet to know, When we are tired, and when the hand of pain Lies on our hearts, and when we look in vain For human comfort, that the heart divine Still understands these cares of yours and mine.
Not only understands, but day by day Lives with us while we tread the earthly way, Bears with us all our weariness, and feels The shadow of the faintest cloud that steals Across our sunshine, ever learns again The depth and bitterness of human pain.
There is no sorrow that He will not share, No cross, no burden, for our hearts to bear Without His help, no care of ours too small To cast on Jesus; let us tell Him all — Lay at His feet the story of our woes, And in His sympathy find sweet repose.
