Author: E. E. Hewitt Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Veiled is the future before me Lyrics: 1 Veiled is the future before me; Life's checkered pathway I climb, God in his goodness revealing Only one step at a time. Will the tomorrow be clouded? Will it bring sunshine for me? Let me lean harder, dear Saviour, Let me lean harder on thee. Chorus: Let me lean harder on thee, Let me lean harder on thee, Thro' storm and thro' sunshine, dear Saviour, Let me lean harder on thee. 2 Earth's dearest ties must be broken, Time's sweetest roses decay; Words of farewell must be spoken, Evening will follow the day. Still, waves of joy roll around me, Swelling from love's boundless sea, While I lean harder, dear Saviour, While I lean harder on thee. [Chorus] 3 Sometime, I'll come to the valley, Where a grim shadow is thrown; No human friend can go with me, Leave me, O Lord, not alone! Till that bright, beautiful morning, When all the darkness shall flee, Let me lean harder, dear Saviour, Let me lean harder on thee. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Veiled is the future before me]
