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 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."

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 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.
