TRUSTING GOD.

[The following is the last hymn prepared by Mr. Bliss; and it was not entirely set to music at the time he met his death at Ashtabula.]
I know not what awaits me— God kindly veils mine eyes, And o’er each step on my onward way He makes new scenes arise; And every joy he sends me comes A sweet and glad surprise.
CHORUS.—Where he may lead I’ll follow, My trust in him repose, And every hour in perfect peace, I’ll sing, “He knows, he knows.”
One step I see before me, ’Tis all I need to see; The light of Heaven more brightly shines When earth’s illusions flee; And sweetly through the silence comes His loving, “Follow me.”
Cho.—Where he may lead, &c.
Oh! blissful lack of wisdom, ’Tis blessed not to know; He holds me with his own right hand, And will not let me go, And lulls my troubled soul to rest In him who loves me so.
Cho.—Where he may lead, &c.
So on I go, not knowing, I would not if I might; I’d rather walk in the dark with God, Than go alone in the light; I’d rather walk by faith with him, Than go alone by sight.
Cho.—Where he may lead, &c.
—Morning Star.
