I CAN TRUST.

God holds the future in his hand. O heart of mine, be still! His love will plan the best for thee, The best, or light or dark it be— Then rest thee in his will.
God holds the future in his hand, Why should I shrink or fear? Through every dark and cloudy day— Yea, all along my pilgrim way— His love will bless and cheer.
God holds the future in his hand, And I can trust his love. The past declares his faithfulness; His eye will guide, his heart will bless, Till I am safe above.
God holds the future in his hand, I leave it all with him, I know one day he will explain The “wherefore” of each grief and pain, Though reasons now are dim.
