Text: | God Moves in a Mysterious Way |
Author: | William Cowper |
Tune: | DUNDEE (FRENCH) |
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 unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill
He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sovereign will.
3 You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds you so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
4 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own Interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
Amen.
