Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow
Author: Jane Borthwick Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #556 (1913) Meter: 11.10.11.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow
Of the sad heart that comes to Thee for rest;
Cares of today and burdens of tomorrow,
Blessings implored and sins to be confest;
We come before Thee at Thy gracious word,
And lay them at Thy feet, Thou knowest, Lord.
2 Thou knowest all the past; how long and blindly
On the dark mountains the lost wanderer strayed;
How the Good Shepherd followed, and how kindly
He bore it home, upon his shoulders laid;
He healed the bleeding wounds and soothed the pain,
And brought back life, and hope, and strength again.
3 Thou knowest all the present; each temptation,
Each toilsome duty, each foreboding fear;
All to each one assigned, of tribulation,
Or to belovèd ones, than self more dear;
All pensive memories, as we journey on,
Longings for vanished smiles and voices gone.
4 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 hope and confidence afford
To tread the path, but this: Thou knowest, Lord?
5 Thou knowest, not alone as God all-knowing;
As man, our mortal weakness Thou hast 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.
6 Therefore we come, Thy gentle call obeying,
And lay our sins and sorrows at Thy feet;
On everlasting strength our weakness staying,
Clothed in Thy robe of righteousness complete:
Then rising and refreshed, we leave Thy throne,
And follow on to know as we are known. Topics: Family Prayer Evening; Family Prayer Evening Tune Title: [Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow]
