_ My Father's way may twist and turn
My heart may throb and ache, --
_ But in my soul I'm glad to know, _ He maketh no mistake.
My cherished plans may go astray,
. My hopes may fade away,
:
But still I'll trust my Lortdo lead,
a He doth know the way. --
_ Tho' night be dark and it may seem
That day will never break, --
Vl pin my faith, my all, in Him,
He maketh no mistake.
There's so much now I cannot see, My eyesight's far too dim,
But come what may,
I'll simply trust and leave it all to Him.
For by and by the mist will lift, --
: And plain tt all He'll make, , - Through all the way, tho' dark to me,
He made not one mistake.
