When we can not see our way,

Let us trust, and still obey;

He who bids us forward go,

Can not fail the way to show.

2 Though the sea be deep and wide,

Though a passage seem denied;

Fearless let us still proceed,

Since the Lord vouchsafes to lead.

3 Though it seems the gloom of night,

Though we see no ray of light;

Since the Lord himself is there,

’Tis not meet that we should fear.

4 Night with him is never night;

Where he is, there all is light;

When he calls us, why delay?

They are happy who obey.

5 Be it ours, then, while we’re here,

Him to follow without fear;

Where he calls us, there to go,

What he bids us, that to do.
