[I do not ask to see the way]
His Love Can Never Fail
Author: E. S. Hall Appears in 46 hymnals First Line: I do not ask to see the way Lyrics: 1 I do not ask to see the way
My feet will have to tread,
But only that my soul may feed
Upon the living bread;
'Tis better far that I should walk
By faith close to His side,
I may not know the way I go,
But oh, I know my Guide.
Chorus or Quartet:
His love can never fail,
(His love can never fail,)
His love can never fail;
(His love can never fail;)
My soul is satisfied to know
His love can never fail.
2 And if my feet would go astray,
They cannot, for I know,
That Jesus guides my falt'ring steps,
As joyfully I go;
And tho' I may not see His face,
My faith is strong and clear
That in each hour of sore distress,
My Savior will be near. [Chorus]
3 I will not fear, tho' darkness come
Abroad o'er all the land,
If I may only feel the touch
Of His own loving hand;
And tho' I tremble when I think
How weak I am, how frail,
My soul is satisfied to know
His love can never fail. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [I do not ask to see the way]
