Notes Words arranged by P. P. Bliss
Lyrics 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. 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, came His loving "Follow Me." O 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. Chorus: Where He may lead I'll follow, My trust in Him repose; And ev'ry hour in perfect peace I'll sing, He knows, He knows.
