JESUS KNOWS.

By Mrs. L. D. Avery-Stuttle

BY MRS. L. D. AVERY-STUTTLE.
[Tune, "The Open Window."]
How glad I am that Jesus, My blest Redeemer, knows Each little pang that grieves me, My sorrows and my woes. And, oh, what waves of glory Sweep o'er my raptured soul, As I list the blessed story,— “Christ Jesus makes thee whole”!
When in the midst of sorrow, Of weakness, and of pain, I know the falling raindrops Must ripe the yellow grain, And, though hot tears of anguish May fill my cup of gall, I know that in his “bottle” My Jesus counts them all.
And so I say: “Dear Saviour, Thou knowest what is best. In sorrow's saddest hour Thou givest me perfect rest; And, oh, I will trust thee ever, Nor murmur nor repine, That in the blest hereafter Thou may'st call me thine.”
