I Do Not Know Why Oft round Me

I do not know why oft 'round me

My hopes all shattered seem to be;

God's perfect plan I cannot see,

But some day I'll understand.

Refrain

Some day He'll make it plain to me,

Some day when I His face shall see;

Some day from tears I shall be free,

For some day I shall understand.

I cannot tell the depth of love,

Which moves the Father's heart above;

My faith to test, my love to prove,

But some day I'll understand.

Refrain

Tho' trials come thro' passing days,

My life will still be filled with praise;

For God will lead thro' darkened ways,

But some day I'll understand.

Refrain
