If we could see beyond today

As God can see

If all the cloudse should roll away

The shadows flee

O'er present griefs we would not fret

Each sorrow we would soon forget

For many joys are waiting yet

For you and me

If we could know beyond today

As God doth know

Why dearest treasures pass away

And tears must flow

And why the darkness leads to light

Why dreary paths will soon grow bright

Some day life's wrongs will be made right

Faith tells us so

If we could see if we could know

We often say

But God in love a veil doth

Throw across our way

We cannot see what lies before

And so we cling to him the more

He leads us 'til this life is o'er

Trust and obey yes trust and obey
