Does Jesus Care?

Lyrics by
Frank Brown (1900)
Music by
J. Lincoln Hall (1900)
Tune
CARE · 8.7.8.7 with refrain
Scripture
1 Peter 5:7
Verse 1
Does Jesus care when my heart is pained
Too deeply for mirth and song;
As the burdens press, and the cares distress,
And the way grows weary and long?
Refrain
O yes, He cares; I know He cares!
His heart is touched with my grief;
When the days are weary, the long nights dreary,
I know my Savior cares.
Verse 2
Does Jesus care when my way is dark
With a nameless dread and fear?
As the daylight fades into deep night shades,
Does He care enough to be near?
Verse 3
Does Jesus care when I've said goodbye
To the dearest on earth to me,
And my sad heart aches till it nearly breaks
Is it aught to Him? does He see?

A popular gospel hymn expressing trust in Christ's compassion during times of suffering and doubt.
