"He knoweth the way that I take." Job 23:10¹⁰But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. (Job 23:10).

"Thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." Prov. 27:1¹Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. (Proverbs 27:1).

"A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps." Prov. 16:9⁹A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. (Proverbs 16:9).

"Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto Thee." Psa. 143:8⁸Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. (Psalm 143:8).

I know not what the New Year
Holds in store, I cannot tell,
But Jesus is my Shepherd, and
He doeth all things well.

I know not what a day may bring,
One step I cannot see,
But Jesus knows the pathway, and
He leadeth you and me.

I know He goeth on before,
To be my daily Guide,
And He will not forsake His child
Whatever may betide.

If trial, sorrow, burdens, care,
Tomorrow I may face,
I know He has abundant power
To give sufficient grace.

I know that happiness and joy
'Tis His delight to bring,
For everything we bless His Name,
And grateful praises sing.

It is enough that Jesus knows
The path from day to day,
For He will take me by the hand
And lead me all the way.
