Beyond To-day

Review and Herald Publishing Association · Washington, D.C. · Feb 18, 1904

If we could see beyond to-day, As God can see; If all the clouds should roll away, The shadows flee, O'er present griefs we would not fret, Each sorrow we would soon forget; For many joys are waiting yet For you and me.

If we could know beyond to-day, As God doth know, Why dearest treasures pass away, And tears must flow, And why the darkness leads to light, Why, dreary paths will soon grow bright! Some day life's wrongs will be made right; Faith tells us so.

If we could see, if we could know, We often say. But God in love a veil doth throw Across our way; We can not see what lies before, And so we cling to him the more; He leads us till this life is o'er; Trust and obey.
