FAITH by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS

First Line: I KNOW NOT WHEN THE DAY WILL BE
Last Line: WHEN I SHALL MEET HIM FACE TO FACE.
Subject(s): FAITH; BELIEF; CREED;

I know not when the day will be
When I shall cross the Great Divide,
But this I know, in that glad hour
That He will stand close by my side.

I do not know the hidden things
Which by God's Plan are not revealed,
But this I know, the path that leads
From earth to Heaven is not concealed.

O, may the Spirit ever guide
My willing feet upon that way
Until the light of morning breaks
And earthly shadows flee away.

By faith I see but darkly now,
Upheld by His sustaining Grace;
But shades of night will be no more
When I shall meet Him face to face.
