711--I know not what awaits me,

I know not what awaits me,

711

	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.
