In humble faith at Jesus’ feet

October 31

In humble faith at Jesus’ feet,
O may I learn a lesson sweet,
That whether sun or rain I see,
God’s way is always best for me.

His way may lead thro’ sunny vales,
O’er rocky steeps, ‘mid stormy gales;
The truest course His eye can see;
God’s way is always best for me.

He never bids me go alone;
His loving arms around me thrown,
My Guide, my Keeper, He will be;
God’s way is always best for me.

So, step by step, in faith and love,
I’ll walk the path that leads above,
Till day shall break, and shadows flee;
God’s way is always best for me.

Chorus
God’s way is best for you, for me;
O, may we all more trustful be,
Until, beyond the parting sea, I’ll sing,
God’s way was best for me.
