"HE KNOWS"
BY Miss NJ. G. Brainard.
know not what shall befa me-
God hangs mist DER my eyes
And on each step of my onward pain
And every joy He sends me comes
As strange and sweet surprise
see not a step before me-
But the past is still in Gods keeping
And that which looks dark in the distance
May brighten as | draw near.
For perhaps the dreaded future
Is less bitter far than think;
The Lord may sweeten the waters
Before l stoop to drink.
Or ii Marah must be Marah,
lie will stand beside the brink.
1t may be that lie keeps waiting
Some gift of such rare blessedness-
Some JOY. so stransey sweet
That my lips can only tremble
With the thanks they cannot speak
on. restful. blissful ignorance!
IT'S blessed not TO know.
II keeps in those Mighty Arms,
Which will not let me 60.
And bushes my soul to rest
the Bosom which loves me so.
And so go O9In tS,. knowing
I'd rather walk in the dark with God.
wonid go Ta diepe walk t" With II Him by faith
Than walk alone by sight.
My heart shrinks back from trials
Yet never had sorrow.
But what the dear Lord chose
