His Love Cannot Fail

Words by E. S. HallMusic by J. Lincoln HallTune HIS LOVE CANNOT FAIL

I do not ask to see the way
My feet will have to tread;
But only that my soul may feed
Upon the living Bread.
'Tis better far that I should walk
By faith close to His side;
I may not know the way I go,
But oh, I know my Guide.

His love cannot fail,
His love cannot fail;
My soul is satisfied to know
His love cannot fail.

And if my feet would go astray,
They cannot, for I know
That Jesus guides my falt'ring steps,
As joyfully I go.
And though I may not see His face,
My faith is strong and clear,
That in each hour of sore distress
My Savior will be near.

I will not fear, though darkness come
Abroad o'er all the land,
If I may only feel the touch
Of His own loving hand.
And though I tremble when I think
How weak I am, and frail,
My soul is satisfied to know
His love cannot fail.

Story Behind the Song

This is an early twentieth-century American gospel hymn, commonly indexed by its first line, “I do not ask to see the way.” The words are credited to E. S. Hall and the music to J. Lincoln Hall. Its text reflects the devotional gospel-song theme of walking by faith when the path ahead is hidden, with the refrain affirming that Christ’s love cannot fail.
