Text:In God's Own Hands
Tune:[I see not the path before me]

157. In God's Own Hands

1 I see not the path before me,
God hangs a mist o'er my eyes,
And so each step of the onward way,
He makes new scenes to arise.

Refrain:
So I go on, not knowing,
I would not know if I might;
I'd rather walk with my God in the dark
Than go alone in the night.

2 I see not a step before me,
As I tread on another year,
But the past is still in God's keeping,
The future his mercy will clear. [Refrain]
