Text:	I Can Trust
Author:	Rev. W. C. Poole
Tune:	[I cannot see beyond today]
Composer:	Chas. H. Gabriel

1 I cannot see beyond today,
But I can trust
That He who guides me all the way
Is wise and just.
And He will let no tempest wild
O’erwhelm His child, o’erwhelm His child.

2 I cannot see the far-off land;
But over there,
Built by my Father’s loving hand
Are mansions fair;
And God will welcome when I come,
His child at home, His child at home.

3 I cannot know the realms of space
From star to star;
But this I know, God’s wondrous grace
Can reach as far;
And yet it cares for even me,
Where’er I be, where’er I be.

4 I may not know the reason why
Of simple things;
But o’er the greatest I can fly
On faith’s strong wings.
And live a life of trust and love
In God above, in God above.
