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.

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 thro' the silence comes
His loving “Follow me.”

O 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.

Soon 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.
