What though the way be lonely, and dark the shadows fall,
I know wher’er it leadeth, My Father planned it all.
I sing through the shade and the sunshine, I’ll trust Him whatever befall;
I sing for I cannot be silent, My Father planned it all.

There may be sunshine tomorrow, Shadows may break and flee,
Twill be the way He chooses, My Father’s plan for me.
I sing through the shade and the sunshine, I’ll trust Him whatever befall;
I sing for I cannot be silent, My Father planned it all.

He guides my fal’tring footsteps, A–long the weary way;
For well he knows the pathway, Will lead to endless day.
I sing through the shade and the sunshine, I’ll trust Him whatever befall;
I sing for I cannot be silent, My Father planned it all.

A day of light and gladness, On which no shade will fall;
Tis this at last awaits me , My Father planned it all….
I sing through the shade and the sunshine, I’ll trust Him whatever befall;
I sing for I cannot be silent, My Father planned it all.

I stumbled upon this hymn viewing a friend‘s notes on facebook. This is the first time I’ve heard of this hymn, and reading it for the first time—I was immediately crushed. O dear soul, if you truly understand what these words mean, if your eyes can see and your ears can hear and your mind can grasp even a little the glorious message of this hmyn… Fall flat on your face and worship.

And join me: “I sing for I cannot be silent, My Father planned it all!”
