WE DO NOT KNOW.
DEAR child, dear child, we do not know
Why sorrows come and pleasures go,
Why oft we fail when most we try,
But God knows why
And we shall all know by and by.
Why sorrows come and pleasures go,
Why oft we fail when most we try,
But God knows why
And we shall all know by and by.
We do not know, we cannot tell,
But oh the Father knoweth well
Why one is rich and one is fair,
One sick with care,
And this world's poor are everywhere.
But oh the Father knoweth well
Why one is rich and one is fair,
One sick with care,
And this world's poor are everywhere.
We walk in darkness but He sees
And shows us gently by degrees
And step by step the hidden way,
If we but pray,
"Lord, make me follow Thee alway."
And shows us gently by degrees
And step by step the hidden way,
If we but pray,
"Lord, make me follow Thee alway."
We must be patient till the end
And leave to Him the way we wend;
For never here our eyes can see
The plan that He
In mercy plans for you and me.
And leave to Him the way we wend;
For never here our eyes can see
The plan that He
In mercy plans for you and me.
