Author: Ida L. Reed Hymnal: The Golden Sheaf #34 (1902) First Line: Fret not though days are dreary Refrain First Line: Fret not, O friend, remember Lyrics: 1 Fret not though days are dreary,
And all life's skies are grey,
Tho' oft thy feet grow weary
Along the thorny way.
Chorus:
Fret not, O friend, remember,
Though dark the way may be,
God knoweth all thy sorrow,
He planned this path for thee.
2 He knoweth all thy burdens,
Thy hopes, thy doubts and fears;
Each onward step he counteth,
He seeth all thy tears. [Chorus]
3 He knoweth all thy crosses,
He shareth all thy pain;
And where thou countest losses,
He counts eternal gain. [Chorus]
4 Fret not, O friend, forever
Let this thy comfort be:
God will forsake thee never,
He planned this path for thee. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Fret not though days are dreary]
He Planned This Path for Thee
