I Know Not What Awaits Me,
God Kindly Veils Mine 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.
Where He May Lead Me 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 Heav’n More Brightly Shines,
When Earth’s Illusions Flee;
And Sweetly Through The Silence, Came
His Loving “Follow 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 I Might;
I’d Rather Walk In The Dark With God
Than Go Alone In The Light;
I’d Rather Walk In Faith With Him
Than Go Alone By Sight.
