1 What tho' the way be lonely
And dark the shadows fall;
I know wheree'er it leadeth,
My Father planned it all.
Chorus
I sing thru the shade and the sunshine,
I'll trust Him whatever befall;
I sing for I cannot be silent–
My Father planned it all.
2 There may be sunshine tomorrow,
Shadows may break and flee;
'Twill be the way He chooses,
The Father's plan for me.
3 He guides my faltering footsteps
Along the weary way,
For well He knows the pathway
Will lead to endless day.
4 A day of light and gladness
On which no shade will fall;
'Tis this at last awaits me–
My Father planned it all.
