711
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 make 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."
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 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.
