He keeps 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 long lingerer He
And of the door of all your future life
He keeps the key

Unfailing comfort, sweet and blessed rest
To know of EVERY door He keeps the key
That He at last when just HE sees best
Will give it THEE
