A Song of Trust I can not always see the way that leads To heights above; I sometimes quite forget that He leads on With hands of love; But yet I know the path must lead me to Immanuel's land, And when I reach life's summit I shall know And understand. I can not always trace the onward course My ship must take, But, looking backward, I behold afar Its shining wake Illumined with God's light of love; and so I onward go, In perfect trust that He who holds the helm The course must know. I can not always see the plain on which He builds my life; For oft the sound of hammers, blow on blow, The noise of strife, Confuse me till I quite forget He knows And oversees, And that in all details with His good plan My life agrees. I can not always know and understand The Master's rule; I can not always do the task He gives In life's hard school; But I am learning, with His help, to solve Them one by one, And when I can not understand to say, ''Thy will be done.
