He Knows

Words by Mary G. Brainard 'Music by P. P. Bliss

“I know not what awaits me,
God kindly veils mine eyes.”

Mr. Bliss lost his life in the terrible railroad wreck at Ashtabula, Ohio. His trunk, however, reached Chicago safely, as it had gone before by another train. In his trunk was discovered this hymn. Mr. Bliss had rearranged the words of the poem to some extent, and had composed the time. Sentence by sentence, the words are full of pathetic interest in connection with the author's sudden death so soon afterward.
