The Key.

Is there some problem in your life to solve,

Some passage seeming full of mystery?

God knows, who brings the hidden things to light.

He keeps the key.

Is there some door closed by the Father's hand

Which widely opened you had hoped to see?

Trust God and wait--for when He shuts the door

He keeps the key.

Is there some earnest prayer unanswered yet,

Or answered NOT as you had thought 'twould be?

God will make clear His purpose by and by.

He keeps the key.

Have patience with your God, your patient God,

All wise, all knowing, no longer lingerer He,

And of the door of all your future life

He keeps the key.

Unfailing comfort, sweet and blessed rest,

To know EVERY door He keeps the key.

That at last when just He sees is best,

Will give it to the.
