I know not, but God knows:
Oh, blessed rest from fear!
All my unfolding days
To him are plain and clear.

Each anxious, puzzled"Why?"
From doubt or dread that grows,
Finds answer in the thought;
I know not, but He knows.

I see not, but God sees;
Oh, all-sufficient light!
My dark and hidden way
To him is always bright.

My strained and peering eyes
May close in restful ease,
And I in peace may sleep;
I see not, but he Sees.
