I do not know what changes lie ahead,
What joy or sorrow,
What disappointment or what glad surprise
May come tomorrow.
But this I know—though smooth the road or rough,
As each day dawns His grace will be enough.
So in His strength in faith I venture forth
In the New Year;
If on the water He should bid me walk,
I will not fear;
Convinced am I that in the sun and shade,
He will be with me—I am not afraid.
