Of All We Full Well Know...

Full well we know we cannot see

Beyond our toil and trouble

Full well we know eternity

Will claim life’s fleeting bubble

Full well we know tis but one life

Allotted to each man

Full well we know we aught to give

The best of what we can

Full well we know these days of grass

Fall swiftly to oblivion

And soon eternities will pass

One moment as a million

Full well we know His way is Peace

His grace has paid our debt

And though full well we know all this

How sadly we forget

Full well we know Time is a glance

Full well we realize

We cannot fathom timelessness

Above life’s little skies

Full well we know we do not know

The ways of Providence

Yet, by the mercies He bestows

His gifts are evidence

…of Love and Joy and Hope and Peace

To comfort us below

In all of life uncertainties

For all we do not know
