Reed Hymnal: United Praise #113 (1908) First Line: What if here yhy path is shadowed Refrain First Line: Trust him, trust him, through the shadow Lyrics: 1 What if here thy path is shadowed, And the heavy clouds sweep low, God’s almighty arms uphold thee And he will not let thee go. Refrain: Trust him, trust him, through the shadow Press the closer to his side; Trust him, trust him, he will guide thee, And no evil will betide. 2 All the way he knows, thy Father, All its peril, all its pain, Look to him, he will not fail thee, And thou canst not trust in vain. [Refrain] 3 Yield thy soul to his dear keeping, Lay thy hand within his own, Tho’ life’s tempests gather o’er thee, He will leave thee not alone.

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Composer of "[What if here my path is shadowed]" in Songs of Christian Service Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912).
