Refrain: Some day I know His face I’ll see, He only knows when that shall be. But I’m content with this to rest, This is God’s way, It must be best. 2 There is no woe that I must face Nor evil hand nor gaunt despair, But God will grant His keeping grace To stay my soul in comfort there. [Refrain] 3 I am His child, He will not leave His own to fall beneath the rod. If wand’ring faith His love should grieve He will forgive, for He is God.

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Hymnal Title: Calvin Hymnary Project Author of "God's will is best" Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912).
