 1  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 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";

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 through the silence comes,

       His loving, "Trust in 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."

 

 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.

 

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."

 

 4  So on I go not knowing;

       I would not if 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."
