Text:"But thou shalt know hereafter"
Author:Hart

315. "But thou shalt know hereafter"

1 Righteous are the works of God;
All his ways are holy;
Just his judgments, fit his rod
To correct our folly.

2 All his dealings wise and good,
Uniform, though various;
Though they seem, by reason viewed,
Cross, or quite contrarious.

3 These are truths, and happy he
Who can well receive them;
Brethren, though we cannot see,
Still we should believe them.

4 Why through darksome paths we go,
We may know no reason;
Yet we shall hereafter know,
Each in his due season.

5 Could we see how all is right,
Where were room for credence?
But by faith, and not by sight,
Christians yield obedience.

6 Let all fruitless searches go,
Which perplex and tease us;
We determine nought to know,
But a bleeding Jesus.
