I KNOW NOT WHAT AWAITS ME
1. 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 ev'ry joy He
sends me comes
A sweet and glad
surprise.
Refrain
Where He may lead
I'll follow,
My trust in Him
repose;
And ev'ry hour in
perfect peace,
I'll sing, "He
knows! He knows!"
And ev'ry hour in
perfect peace,
I'll song, "He
knows! He knows!"
2. 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!''
3. 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.
4. 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.
