I know not what awaits me

I know not what awaits me

God kindly veils my eyes

And o’er each step of my onward way

He makes new scenes to rise;

And every joy He sends me comes

A sweet and glad surprise.

Where He may lead I’ll follow

My trust in Him repose;

And every hour in perfect peace

I’ll sing

“He knows

He knows”;

And every hour in perfect peace

I’ll sing

“He knows

He knows.”

One step I see before me

’Tis all I need to see

The light of heaven more brightly shines

When earth’s illusions flee;

And sweetly through the silence comes

His loving

“Trust in Me!”

Oh

blissful lack of wisdom

’Tis blessed not to know;

He holds me with His own right hand

And will not let me go

And lulls my troubled soul to rest

In Him who loves me so.

So on I go not knowing;

I would not if I might;

I’d rather walk in the dark with God

Than go alone in the light;

I’d rather walk by faith with Him

Than go alone by sight.
