God holds the key of all unknown
92
8.4.8.8.4.
1 God holds the key of all unknown,
And I am glad;
If other hands should hold the key,
Or if He trusted it to me,
I might be sad.
2 What if tomorrow’s cares were here
Without its rest!
I’d rather He unlocked the day;
And, as the hours swing open, say,
“My will is best.”
3 The very dimness of my sight
Makes me secure;
For, groping in my misty way,
I feel His hand: I hear Him say,
“My help is sure.”
4 I cannot read His future plans;
But this I know:
I have the smiling of His face,
And all the refuge of His grace,
While here below.
5 Enough! This covers all my wants,
And so I rest!
For what I cannot, He can see,
And in His care I saved shall be,
For ever blest.
Joseph Parker
