444. I Know My Heavenly Father Knows

1 I know my heavenly Father knows
The storms that would my way oppose;
But He can drive the clouds away,
And turn my darkness into day,
And turn my darkness into day.

Refrain:
He knows, He knows
The storms that would my way oppose;
He knows, He knows,
And tempers every wind that blows.

2 I know my heavenly Father knows
The balm I need to soothe my woes,
And with His touch of love divine,
He heals this wounded soul of mine,
He heals this wounded soul of mine.

3 I know my heavenly Father knows
How frail I am to meet my foes,
But He my cause will e’er defend,
Uphold and keep me to the end,
Uphold and keep me to the end.

4 I know my heavenly Father knows
The hour my journey here will close,
And may that hour, O faithful Guide,
Find me safe sheltered by Thy side,
Fine me safe sheltered by Thy side.
