Lyrics

I do not ask, I would not know,
What Time is bring­ing me;
I on­ly pray, come weal or woe,
That I may faith­ful be.

Refrain

Where He doth lead I’ll fol­low on,
Whate’er the cost may be;
And in the dawn­ing that awaits
I shall His glo­ry see.

The fu­ture in God’s keep­ing lies,
The past He doth com­mand;
To Him I lift my fear­less eyes,
Nor ask to un­der­stand.

Refrain

Under the sha­dow of His wings
I lodge while Time is spent,
And glo­ri­fy the word that brings
The sec­ret of con­tent.
