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.
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."
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 comes,
His loving, "Trust in 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!"

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.
’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.

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.
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.

I heard this song this past spring, and the Lord touched my heart to memorize it for a friend who has been imprisoned as an innocent man. Not having understanding why the Lord would allow one of His own to experience such a suffering, the words brought such light and comfort, especially verse 3, "Oh, blissful lack of wisdom, 'tis blessed not to know" and verse 4, "I'd rather walk in the dark with God than go alone in the light". Our trust finds its repose in Him.

Recently I was having a hard day at school and the Lord reminded me of this song:
"I know not what awaits me, God kindly veils my eyes, and o'er each step on my onward way He makes new scenes to rise; And every joy He sends me comes a sweet and glad surprise. ... And every hour in perfect peace, I'll sing 'He knows, He knows'".
It is so sweet that we don't know what lies ahead. He is the best Shepherd and all we need to do is to trust and follow this wonderful One.
