58. The Way He Leads is Best for Me

1 The path lies hid behind the veil,
I know not where it leads;
But I can trust, where sight doth fail,
My Father knows my needs;
I will not murmur nor repine,
Nor choose another, easier way,
For thro’ the mist the sun will shine
Upon my path again, some day.

Chorus:
The way He leads is best for me,
Tho’ often times I cannot see
Just why it winds o’er thorny hill;
But this I know, He loves me still.

2 Myself, with hope, ambitions grand,
I lay at Jesus’ feet,
An empty vessel in His hand,
For His own use made meet;
I’ll trust in Him, my Lord divine,
And do His pleasure day by day,
And humbly cry, “Thy will, not mine,”
As I His gracious call obey. [Chorus]

3 Some day my earthly path will wend
From darkness into light;
My faith and hope shall have an end,
Be changed to blissful sight;
Forgotten then each pain shall be,
These tear dimmed eyes shall then be dry,
For I my blessed Lord shall see,
And live and reign with Him on high. [Chorus]
