Hi Brother Jack,
I can only give you the words. I don't have the
author's name, or the copyright information. I believe
it is public domain.
"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 many joys are waiting yet,
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 paths will soon grow bright;
Some day life's wrongs will be maid right,
Faith tells us so.

If we could 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!"
I have used this poem off an on for many years in
funeral services.
