| For I am God I am Jehovah He | B |
| Who made you what you are and I can see | B |
| The tears that wet your pillow night by night | C |
| When nurse has lowered that too brilliant light | C |
| When the talk ceases and the ward grows still | D |
| And you have doffed your will | D |
| I know the anguish and the helplessness | E |
| I know the fears that toss you to and fro | A |
| And how you wrestle weariful | D |
| With hosts of little strings that pull | D |
| About your heart and tear it so | A |
| I know | A |
| - | |
| Lord do You know | A |
| I had no time to put clean curtains up | F |
| No time to finish darning all the socks | G |
| Nor sew clean frilling in the children's frocks | G |
| And do You know about my Baby's cold | H |
| And how things are with my sweet three year old | H |
| Will Jane remember right | C |
| Their cough mixture at night | C |
| And will she ever think | I |
| To brush the kitchen flues or scrub the sink | I |
| - | |
| And then there's John Poor tired lonely John | J |
| No one will run to put his slippers on | J |
| And not a soul but me | B |
| Knows just exactly how he likes his tea | B |
| It rends my heart to think I cannot go | A |
| And minister to him | K |
| - | |
| I know I know | A |
| - | |
| Then there are other things | L |
| Dear Lord more little strings | L |
| That pull my heart Now Baby feels her feet | M |
| She loves to run outside into the street | M |
| And Jane's hands are so full she'll never see | B |
| And I'm quite sure the clean clothes won't be aired | N |
| At least not properly | B |
| And oh I can't I really can't be spared | N |
| My little house calls so | A |
| - | |
| I know | A |
| And I am waiting here to help and bless | O |
| Lay down your head Lay down your hope lessness | E |
| And let Me speak | P |
| You are so weary child you are so weak | P |
| But let us reason out | Q |
| The darkness and the doubt | Q |
| This torturing fear that tosses you about | Q |
| - | |
| I hold the universe I count the stars | R |
| And out of shortened lives I build the ages | S |
| - | |
| But Lord while such high things Thy thought engages | T |
| I fear forgive me lest | U |
| Amid those limitless eternal spaces | S |
| Thou shouldest in the high and heavenly places | S |
| Pass over my affairs as things of nought | U |
| There are so many houses just like mine | V |
| And I so earth bound and Thyself Divine | V |
| It seems impossible that Thou shouldst care | W |
| Just what my babies wear | W |
| And what John gets to eat and can it be | B |
| A circumstance of great concern to Thee | B |
| Whether I live or die | U |
| - | |
| Have you forgotten then My child that I | U |
| The Infinite the Limitless laid down | X |
| The method of existence that I knew | Y |
| And took on Me a nature just like you | Y |
| I laboured day by day | U |
| In the same dogged way | U |
| That you have tackled household tasks And then | Z |
| Remember child remember once again | Z |
| Your own beloveds did you really think | I |
| Those days you toiled to get their meat and drink | I |
| And made their clothes and tried to under stand | U |
| Their little ailments did you think your hand | U |
| Your feeble hand was keeping them from ill | D |
| I gave them life and life is more than meat | U |
| Those little limbs so comely and so sweet | U |
| You can make raiment for them and are glad | U |
| But can you add | U |
| One cubit to their stature Yet they grow | A |
| Oh child hands off Hands off And leave them so | A |
| I guarded hitherto I guard them still | D |
| - | |
| I have let go at last I have let go | A |
| And oh the rest it is dear God to know | A |
| My dear ones are so safe for Thou wilt keep | A2 |
| Hands off at last Now I can go to sleep | A2 |
