Poetry

Dear Lord I Cannot See

Where Thou art leading me

I cannot tell if thorns

Or roses strew my way;

My future is concealed

Thou hast not yet revealed

Thy will in me

Nor do I for the knowledge pray…

~~

Chorus: Thy will be done in me Lord,

My all to Thee I yield Lord,

In life, in death, be Thou my guide

And I shall be satisfied…

~~~

Verse 2

What streams I have to cross,

Of sorrow, pain or loss,

Are not for me to fear -

I shall not be dismayed;

Content if Thou, my Guide,

Art ever near my side,

That I may hear Thee whisper,

“Child, be not afraid!”

Verse 3.

Rejoicing, on I go:

I do not ask to know

The path I tread,

or whither be the way I take!

Thy will be done in me;

This is my only plea:

Forgive, and love, and guide me,

for Thy mercy’s sake.

CHORUS

Thy will be done in me, Lord!

My all I yield to Thee Lord!

In life, in death, Be Thou my Guide,

And I shall be satisfied!

Chas. H Gabriel

The words of the song are found in Alexander’s Hymns No. 3. It is number 85.
