God's Way Is Best
By C. W. Naylor
God’s way is best; if human wisdom
A fairer way may seem to show,
‘Tis only that our earth-dimmed vision
The truth can never clearly know.
Had I the choosing of my pathway,
In blindness I should go astray,
And wander far away in darkness,
Nor reach that land of endless day.
He leadeth true; I will not question
Though through the valley I shall go,
Though I should pass through clouds of trial,
And drink the cup of human woe.
God’s way is best; heart, cease thy struggling
To see and know and understand;
Forsake thy fears and doubts, but trusting,
Submit thyself into his hand.
God’s way is best; I will not murmur,
Although the end I may not see;
Where’er he leads I’ll meekly follow:
God’s way is best, is best for me.
Thy way is best, so lead me onward;
My all I give to thy control;
Thy loving hand will truly guide me.
And safe to glory bring my soul.
