_ 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,

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.
