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.
