When We Cannot See our Way

Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When we cannot see our way, Let us trust, and still obey; He who bids us forward go, Cannot fail the way to show. 2 Though it seems the bloom of night, Though we see no ray of light; Since the Lord Himself is there, ‘Tis not meet that we should fear. 3 Night with Him is never night, Where He is, there all is light; When He calls us, why delay? They are happy who obey. 4 Be it our’s then, while we’re here, Him to follow without fear! Where He calls us, there to go, What He bids us, that to do!
