If we could see beyond today

If we could see beyond today

As God can see,

If all the clouds should roll away,

The shadows flee;

O'er present griefs we would not fret,

Each sorrow we would soon forget,

For many joys are waiting yet

For you and me.

If we could know beyond today

As God doth know

Why dearest treasures pass away,

And tears must flow,

And why the darkness leads to light,

Why dreary days will soon grow bright,

Some day life's wrongs will be make right;

Faith tells us so.

If we could see, if we could know,

We often say,

But God in love veil doth throw

across our way;

We can not see what lies before,

And so we cling to Him the more,

He leads us till this life is o'er,

Trust and Obey!
