Hymnal: Minnetonka Songs #32 (1879) First Line: I know not what awaits me Refrain First Line: Where he may lead I'll follow Lyrics: 1 I know not what awaits me,
God kindly veils mine eyes,
And o'er each step of my onward way
He makes new scenes to rise;
And ev'ry joy he sends me comes
A sweet and glad surprise.
Chorus:
Where he may lead I'll follow,
My trust in him repose;
And ev'ry hour in perfect peace I'll sing,
He knows, he knows,
And ev'ry hour in perfect peace I'll sing,
He knows, he knows.
2 One step I see before me,
'Tis all I need to see,
The light of heav'n more brightly shines,
When earth's illusions flee;
And sweetly through the silence comes
His loving "Follow me." [Chorus]
3 Oh, blissful lack of wisdom,
'Tis blessed not to know;
He holds me with his own right hand,
And will not let me go.
And lulls my troubled soul to rest
In him who loves me so. [Chorus]
4 So on I go, not knowing,
I would not if I might;
I'd rather walk in the dark with God
Than walk alone in the light;
I'd rather walk with him by faith
Than go alone by sight.
Chorus:
Where he may lead I'll follow,
My trust in him repose;
And ev'ry hour in perfect peace I'll sing,
He knows, he knows,
And ev'ry hour in perfect peace I'll sing,
He knows, he knows.
He knows, he knows, he knows.
