"God Leads The Way."

by F. W. Smith | Category: General | Apr 1950

1. When all our sky is clear to view,

The waters calm, and trials few,

We say with joy, " 'Tis surely true,

That God does lead the way."

2. But when sore trial starts the day,

Do we a fainting heart display?

Do we begin to doubt, and say,

"Does God now lea~ the way?"

8. A loving Father, can He lead

Where circumstances tend to breed

Discomfort, or apparent need?

Does God then lead the way?"

4. We may not see ~ur Father's hand,

By whom our way through life is planned.

Yet soon in heaven we'll understand

Just why He led that way.

5. Oh, fainting saint, can you believe,

Or can your heart the thought conceive

That God His loved ones will deceive,

And fail to lead the way?

fi. "I will not leave thee, nor forsake."

This is His promise! Why not take

To Him the cares your heart would break?

He gently leads the way.

7. His way is right, His way is best,

Why not upon His promise rest?

Should He not grant us our request,

He leads the better way.

8. And when our tale of life is told,

The silver. . . costly stones . - . and gold

Will at the judgment-seat unfold

His leading by that way.
