Perfect Trust

I may not a­lways know the way

Wherein God leads my feet

But this I know

that ’round my path

His love and wis­dom meet;

And so I rest

con­tent to know

He leads my feet wher­e’er I go

And so I rest

con­tent to know

He leads my feet wher­e’er I go

Where’er I go.

Sometimes above the path I tread

The clouds hang dark and low;

But thro’ the gloom

or thro’ the night

My heart no fear can know;

For close be­side me walks a friend

Who whis­pers low un­to the end

For close be­side me walks a friend

Who whis­pers low unto the end

Unto the end.

I may not al­ways un­der­stand

Just why He sends to me

Some bit­ter grief

some hea­vy loss

But tho’ I can­not see

I kneel and whis­per thro’ my tears

A pray­er for help

and know He hears

I kneel and whis­per thro’ my tears

A pray­er for help

and know He hears

And know He hears.

My cher­ished plans and hopes may fail

My id­ols turn to dust;

But this I know

my Fa­ther’s love

Is al­ways safe to trust;

These things were dear to me

but still

Above them all I love His will;

These things were dear to me

but still

Above them all I love His will

I love His will.

Oh

pre­cious peace with­in my heart!

O bless­èd rest

to know

A Fa­ther’s love keeps con­stant watch

Amid life’s ebb and flow;

I ask no more than this

I rest

Content

and know His way is best;

I ask no more than this

I rest

Content

and know His way is best

His way is best.
