HE KNOWS.

By Gertrude B. Curtis

I CAN not always trace the onward course My boat must take; But looking backward, I behold afar Its shining wake, Illumined with God's life of love; and so I onward go In perfect trust that He who holds the helm The course must know.

I can not always see the plan on which He builds my life; For oft the sound of hammers, blow on blow, The noise of strife, Confuse me till I quite forget He knows And oversees, And that in all details in His good plan My life agrees.

I can not always know and understand The Master's rule; I can not always do the tasks He gives In life's hard school; But I am learning by His help to solve Them one by one; And when I can not understand, to say, "Thy will be done." —Gertrude B. Curtis.
