I Cannot Always See The Way
Author: Gertrude B. Curtis Meter: 14.14.14.14 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: I cannot always see the way that leads to heights above Lyrics: 1 I cannot always see the way that leads to heights above,
And sometimes I forget He leads me on with hand of love,
But yet I know the path must lead me to Immanuel's land,
And when I leave life's summit I shall know and understand.
2 I cannot always trace the onward course my ship must take,
But, looking backward, I behold afar its shining wake
Illumined with God's light of love, and so I onward go,
In perfect trust that He who holds the helm the course must know.
3 I cannot always see the plan on which He builds my life,
For oft the sound of hammers blow and blow, the noise of strife
Confuse me till I quite forget He knows and oversees,
And that in all details, with His good plan my life agrees.
4 I cannot always know and understand the Master's rule;
I cannot always do the tasks He gives in life's hard school;
But I am learning with His help to solve them, one by one.
And when I cannot understand, to say Thy will be done. Topics: Spiritual Songs Divine Care and Guidance Used With Tune: [I cannot always see the way that leads to heights above]

Person Name: Unknown Author of "Thy Will Be Done" in Devotion and Praise In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Frederick M. Lehman
1868 - 1953 Person Name: F. M. Lehman Composer of "[I cannot always see the way that leads to heights above]" in Devotion and Praise Frederick Martin Lehman, 1868-1953
Born: August 7, 1868, Mecklenburg, Schwerin, Germany.
Died: February 20, 1953, Pasadena, California.
Buried: Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale, California.
Lehman emigrated to America with his family at age four, settling in Iowa, where he lived most of childhood. He came to Christ at age 11, as he relates:
One glad morning about eleven o’clock while walking up the country lane, skirted by a wild crab-apple grove on the right and an osage fence, with an old white-elm gate in a gap at the left, suddenly Heaven let a cornucopia of glory descend on the eleven-year old lad. The wild crab-apple grove assumed a heavenly glow and the osage fence an unearthly lustre. That old white-elm gate with its sun-warped boards gleamed and glowed like silver bars to shut out the world and shut him in with the ’form of the fourth,’ just come into his heart. The weight of conviction was gone and the paeans of joy and praise fell from his lips.
Lehman studied for the ministry at Northwestern College in Naperville, Illinois, and pastored at Audubon, Iowa; New London, Indiana; and Kansas City, Missouri. The majority of his life was devoted to writing sacred songs; his first was written while a pastor in Kingsley, Iowa, in 1898. He wrote and published hundreds of songs, and compiled five song books. In 1911, he moved to Kansas City, where he helped found the Nazarene Publishing House.
