God does not lead us year by year,
Nor even day by day;
But step by step our path unfolds,
As He directs our way.
Tomorrow’s plans, we do not know;
We only know this hour.
And Him who bids us walk each step.
And we are glad that it is so,
Today’s enough to bear;
And when tomorrow comes, his grace
Will far exceed our care.
What need to worry then, or fret’
The Lord, who gave his Son
Holds all our moments in his hand
And gives them one by one.
