|  | | 1. Falling in strength
when oppressed by my foes,
Somebody knows, somebody knows,
Waiting for someone
to banish my woes,
Somebody knows, ’tis Jesus.
Refrain.
Somebody knows, somebody knows,
When I am tempted
and tried by my foes;
He is the One Who will keep me—
Somebody knows—’tis Jesus.
2. Why should I fear
when the care billows roll?
Somebody knows, somebody knows;
When the deep shadows
sweep over my soul,
Somebody knows, ’tis Jesus.
Refrain.
Somebody knows, somebody knows,
When I am tempted
and tried by my foes;
He is the One Who will keep me—
Somebody knows—’tis Jesus.
3. Wounded and helpless
and sick with distress,
Somebody knows, somebody knows,
Longing for home
and a mother’s caress,
Somebody knows, ’tis Jesus.
Refrain.
Somebody knows, somebody knows,
When I am tempted
and tried by my foes;
He is the One Who will keep me—
Somebody knows—’tis Jesus.
