He Knows Best

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Hymns of Consecration and Faith #118 (1902) First Line: We cannot understand Lyrics: 1 We cannot understand Why this is best; We tightly clasp His hand And leave the rest. 2 When He, who knoweth all, Sends grief and woe; We can but trust and say, “He wills it so!” 3 His love is mightier far Than we can guess; His thoughts toward us are All tenderness. 4 He is our loving Lord, Our Father dear! He knows our every want; Why should we fear? 5 Then, though our hearts are sad, We still can pray, And He will make us glad In His own day. Languages: English Tune Title: [We cannot understand]
