Text: | God Moves in a Mysterious Way |
Author: | William Cowper |
Tune: | ST. ANNE |
Composer: | William Croft |
1 God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.
2 You fearful saints,fresh courage take:
The clouds you so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
3 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
4 Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.
