I Know Not What Awaits Me

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 ev'ry joy He sends me, comes

A sweet and glad surprise.
Refrain

Where He may lead me I'll follow,

My trust in Him repose

And ev'ry hour in perfect peace

I'll sing, He knows, He knows;

And ev'ry 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."

Refrain

O blissful lack of wisdom,

'Tis blessèd 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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

He knows, He knows, He knows.
