’Tis so sweet just to know, as I with my Savior go,
If I heed every sacred command
That when sorrows betide I may in the refuge hide;
He upholds me secure with His hand.
’Tis so sweet just to know that my Father loves me so,
He will list to my heart’s faintest cry:
I will trust in His grace, for I see His smiling face,
’Tis so sweet just to know He is nigh.
’Tis so sweet just to feel, as before Him low I kneel,
That He knows all my burdens and needs,
Counts each one of my tears, bids me cease from all my fears;
And His Spirit for me intercedes.
’Tis so sweet just to know that my Father loves me so,
He will list to my heart’s faintest cry:
I will trust in His grace, for I see His smiling face,
’Tis so sweet just to know He is nigh.
I’ll rejoice in the shame when I suffer for His name,
He will only permit what is best;
Holy angels are near those who walk in godly fear,
’Tis so sweet just to trust Him and rest.
’Tis so sweet just to know that my Father loves me so,
He will list to my heart’s faintest cry:
I will trust in His grace, for I see His smiling face,
’Tis so sweet just to know He is nigh.
Oh, how sweet it will be when my Savior I shall see,
In His presence to dwell evermore!
I will share in the loss and reproaches of His cross,
For the joy that is waiting before.
’Tis so sweet just to know that my Father loves me so,
He will list to my heart’s faintest cry:
I will trust in His grace, for I see His smiling face,
’Tis so sweet just to know He is nigh.
