"I cannot know why suddenly the storm Should rage so fiercely round me in its wrath; But this I know─God watches all my path, And I can trust.

"I may not draw aside the mystic veil That hides the unknown future from my sight, Nor know if for me waits the dark or light; But I can trust.

"I have no power to look across the tide, To see while here the land beyond the river; But this I know─I shall be God's forever; So I can trust."
