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.

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!”

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.

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.

It takes faith to know God, for whoever comes to God must believe that he is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
May we be those who hear the Lord’s call, even Him calling us more strongly to live within the veil. 🙏
He knows what we need oh Lord Jesus Christ we need more of you.

This is a beautiful song. I do not agree with the part about walking in the dark with God however and walking alone in the light If we walk with God we will be in the light and we will never be alone In God there is no darkness

Living a life of faith does not come naturally to me. At times it can be very uncomfortable. I tend to try to control what happens in my life and yet time and time again the Lord shows me that he doesn’t need me to control anything. “One step I see before me, Tis all I need to see. ” Many times in following the sense within, we want to see more than one step before we follow the Lord but the Lord will only show us one step and His speaking is always the same “Trust in me. ” My life, as a believer is one of transitioning from trusting in my self to trusting in our dear Lord Jesus Christ. Psalm 139:10 says “There also Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will take hold of me. ” “So on I go not knowing; I would not if I might. ” Lord teach us daily how to live a life of faith.

This hymn touchs me every time I sang or muted on its lyrics. The author had had tremendous experience of the Lord's presence. Stanza 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." It requires a strong faith and a desire for His presence to go on in this way during our Christrians' journey!
Moses knows God's Will and long for His presence in the following verses: Ex 33:13 Now therefore if I have found favor in Your sight, please let me know now Your ways, that I may know You, so that I may continue to find favor in Your sight. Consider also that this nation is Your people. Ex 33:14 And He said, My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.
Ex 33:15 And he said to Him, If Your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here." The Lord said, “My presence shall go with you. ” What a treasure! The presence, the smile, of the Lord is the governing principle. We must be fearful of receiving anything from the Lord yet losing His presence.

So on I go not knowing;
