I CAN TRUST | AdventAI

International Tract and Missionary Society · Oakland, California · Feb 12, 1885

I CAN TRUST.

I CANNOT see, with my small human sight, Why God should lead this way or that for me, I only know he saith, “Child, follow me.” And I can trust.

I know not why my path should be at times So straitly hedged, so strangely barred before; I only know God could keep wide the door. And I can trust.

I find no answer, often, when beset With questions fierce and subtle on my way, And often have but strength to faintly pray; But I can trust.

I often wonder, as with trembling hand I cast the seed along the furrowed ground, If ripened food for God will there be found. But I can trust.

I cannot know why suddenly the storm Should rage so fiercely round me in its wrath; But this I know, God watches still my path, And I can trust. —Sel.
