Never actually heard this one.  My research says it dates from 30's or 40's.  Hope This Helps!

IF WE COULD SEE BEYOND TODAY

If we could see beyond today
As God can see,
If all the clouds should roll away,
The shadows flee;
O'er present griefs we would not fret
Each sorrow we would soon forget,
For you and me.

If we could know beyond today
As God doth know,
Why dearest treasures pass away,
And tears must flow;
And why the darkness leads to light
Why dreary days will soon grow bright,
Some day life's wrong will be made right,
Faith tells us so.

If we couls see, if we could know
We often say
But God in love a veil doth throw
Across our way
We cannot see what lies before,
And so we cling to Him the more
He leads us till this life is o'er,
Trust and obey

Subject: [PastorMail] NEED WORDS TO A POEM/SONG

Greetings to one of the greatest resources I know, the Pastor Mail List!

 

Guys, your friendly moderator needs help (but you already knew that 🙂  ).  I am looking for the words, author's name, and copyright information for a song that begins:

 

If we could see beyond today as God sees...

 

Also, we have kind have hit a lull in Pastor Mail.

I am not sure if all your messages are getting through.  If you have sent mail in the last two days and it has not made the list, please let me know.

 

Don't forget to share those illustrations and sermon outlines/notes!

 

And a special word of thanks to Pastors Dick and Henk for their friendship and cooperation!

 

Yours for the Master,

 

Jack
