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]

I Cannot Always See the Way

Author: Gertrude Benedict Curtis Hymnal: Concordia #152 (1918) 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: The Christian Life Trust and Confidence Languages: English Tune Title: I CANNOT ALWAYS SEE
