When we cannot see our way,
Let us trust and still obey:
He who bids us forward go
Cannot fail the way to show.
Though the sea be deep and wide,
Though a passage seem denied,
Fearless let us still proceed,
Since the Lord vouchsafes to lead.
Though it be the gloom of night,
Though we see no ray of light,
Since the Lord Himself is there,
Tis not meet that we should fear.
Night with Him is. never night,
Where He is, there all is light;
While He calls us, why delay?
They are happy who obey.
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.
---Alternative verses---
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.
