THE UNKNOWN FUTURE.

God holds the key of all unknown, And I am glad. If other hands should hold the key, Or if he trusted it to me, It might be sad.
What if to-morrow’s cares were here Without its rest? Rather would I unlock the day, And as the hours swing open, say, “Thy will is best.”
The very dimness of my sight Makes me secure; For, groping in my misty way, I feel his hand—I hear him say, “My help is sure.”
I cannot read his future plan, But this I know, I have the smiling of his face, And all the refuge of his grace, While here below.
Enough; this covers all my want, And so I rest; For what I cannot, he can see, And in his care I sure shall be Forever blest.
