Words: Joseph Parker (1830-1902) Music: George Coles Stebbins (1846-1945) [Verse 1]
    D         G      D
[tab]      A  A7
and I am glad:

                      D
if other hands should hold the key,

                 A  D  G
or if He trusted it to me,

  D     A  D      G     A  D
I might be sad, I might be sad.
[Verse 2]
     D    G        D
What if tomorrow's cares were here

        A   A7
without its rest?

                D
I'd rather He unlocked the day

                        A D   G
and, as the hours swing open, say,

    D    A  D        G    A  D
'My will is best, My will is best.'
[Verse 3]
    D            G     D
The very dimness of my sight

         A A7
makes me secure;

                   D
for, groping in my misty way,

                   A    D   G
I feel His hand; I hear Him say,

    D    A  D        G    A  D
'My help is sure, My help is sure.'
[Verse 4]
  D      G        D
I cannot read His future plans;

         A A7
but this I know:

                   D
I have the smiling of His face,

                   A  D   G
and all the refuge of His grace,

      D    A D          G    A D
while here below, while here below.
[Verse 5]
 D           G      D
Enough: this covers all my wants;

       A A7
and so I rest!

           D
for what I cannot, He can see,

                  A     D   G
and in His care I saved shall be,

   D A  D         G A  D
forever blest, forever blest.
