First Line: 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 every 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 !

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 thro' the silence comes
His loving, Follow Me.

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.

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.
