He Knows

words by Mary G. Brainard

MIDI File

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 ever 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
Came his loving, "Follow me."

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.
O blissful lack of wisdom,
'Tis blissful 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.

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.
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.

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.
