I Know Thee Who Thou Art

Written by - Albert Orsborn (1886 - 1967)

Lyrics
I know thee who thou art,

And what thy healing name;

For when my fainting heart

The burden nigh o'ercame,

I saw thy footprints on my road

Where lately passed the Son of God.

Thy name is joined with mine

By every human tie,

And my new name is thine,

A child of God am I;

And never more alone, since thou

Art on the road beside me now.

Beside thee as I walk,

I will delight in thee

In sweet communion talk

Of all thou art to me;

The beauty of thy face behold

And know thy mercies manifold.

Let nothing draw me back

Or turn my heart from thee,

But by the Calvary track

Bring me at last to see

The courts of God, that city fair,

And find my name is written there.
