What will the Future bring?

What will the future bring? God only knows. Whose Mind is Infinite: His thoughts are high. His ways profound, there’s naught to fear, but just to trust and let His joy abound.

His Wisdom plans each thing without a single ill, His Love, it never fails to seek our highest best; His Power is great in working out His wondrous will, His Grace sufficient for deepest test.

Our times are in His hands! God ever cares, Whose heart is Infinite: His purposes are deep, His goal is sure, there’s naught to dread, but just to yield and hold His hand secure.

Upon His shoulder rest all things in heaven and on earth, why load the heart and brood o’er endless frets and care? The Government of life: its problems, labours, mirth, the Strong Creator has ability to bear.

‘Tis good to rest in Him! God cannot fail, Whose Choice is Infinite: He takes away, He also gives, there’s naught to sigh, but just to thank for all that one receives.

And should death’s shadows seek to shroud this earthly frame, ‘tis gain, and infinitely safe to die ‘in Him’; but should He grant a further space of time again, may our whole being solely strive to live for Him.
