Verse 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 every joy He sends me comes A sweet and glad surprise. Verse 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!" Verse 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. Verse 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.
