Text: | God Moves in a Mysterious Way |
Author: | William Cowper |
Tune: | DUNDEE |
1 God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.
2 Deep in unknown, unfathomed mines
Of never-failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs
And works His sov'reign will.
3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
5 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own Interpreter,
And He will make it plain.
Amen.
