Lord,
How Can I Know Thee
Lord, how can I know thee
my Savior and friend
thy suffering and heartache
thy trials and pain
How can I know thee
thy gifts to obtain
gain entrance into Heaven
and live with Thee again

Know thou thy neighbor
who also pleads today
for comfort in suffering
with trials and pain
Know her desires
her joys and her fears
so she and thee, may come
and live with me here
Lord, how can I serve thee
when small means have I
my hands, my heart
and time passing by
How can I serve thee
thou art far away
with oil I cannot anoint thee
nor can I wipe thy tears away
Serve thou thy neighbor
bring comfort and cheer
embrace her and tell her
I'll always be near
Tend to her needs
whether great or small
and take time to know her
to listen, to call
Lord, how can I love thee
creator of Heaven and earth
whose forgiveness and mercy
are of greatest worth
How can I love thee
with all my heart
my might, mind and strength
from thee ne’er to part
Love thou thy neighbor
let your heart o’er flow
with charity and forgiveness
great joy thou shalt know
Dear child, I love thee
and blessed are ye
if ye love one of the least of these
ye have also loved me
