I Know Not Where the Road Will Lead

Evelyn Atwater Cummins (1922) • English

Primary Scripture: Numbers 20:17

Verse 1

I know not where the road will lead I follow day by day, or where it ends: I only know I walk the King's highway. I know not if the way is long, and no one else can say; but rough or smooth, up hill or down, I walk the King's highway.

Verse 2

And some I love have reached the end, but some with me may stay, their faith and hope still guiding me: I walk the King's highway. The way is truth, the way is love, for light and strength I pray, and through the years of life, to God I walk the King's highway.

Verse 3

The countless hosts lead on before, I must not fear nor stray; with them, the pilgrims of the faith, I walk the King's highway. Through light and dark the road leads on till dawns the endless day, when I shall know why in this life I walk the King's highway.
