Lyrics

Art thou wea­ry, soul, of stray­ing?
God knows, He knows it all;
Come to Him, make no de­lay­ing,
He knows it all.

Refrain

Come with thy sor­row, come with thy care;
Come with thy bur­den so hea­vy to bear;
He knows thy sor­row, He knows it all;
Come to thy help­er, oh, heed now His call.

Is the path­way long and drea­ry?
God knows, He knows it all;
He will strength­en thee when wea­ry,
He knows it all.

Refrain

Do thy cher­ished friends for­sake thee?
God knows, He knows it all;
To His shel­ter­ing arms be­take thee,
He knows it all.
