The Way Before Me

I know not the way before me,
   But Jesus will guide me still;
And so, in His mercy trusting,
   I patiently wait His will.

I know not the cares or sorrows
   That into my life may fall,
But Jesus, my loving Savior,
   Will give me the grace for all.

I know not the way before me,
   But Jesus my Lord is near,
To shelter, protect and keep me;
   Then why should I doubt or fear?

I know not the way before me,
   But this to my soul is given--
The promise of life eternal,
   A home and a rest in heaven.
