God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: TH1990 #128 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Genesis 50:20 Lyrics: 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 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 ev'ry hour; the bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flow'r. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, and scan his work in vain; God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain.

Give thou the hearing ear, fix thou the wand'ring thought, that those we teach may hear the great things thou hast wrought. 3 Speak thou for us, O Lord, in all we say of thee; according to thy Word let all our teaching be, that so thy lambs may know their own true Shepherd's voice, where'er he leads them go, and in his love rejoice. 4 Live thou within us, Lord; thy mind and will be ours; be thou belov'd, adored, and served with all our pow'rs, that so our lives may teach thy children what thou art, and plead, by more than speech, for thee with ev'ry heart.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Hymnal: TH1990 #345 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Exodus 13:21 Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken formed thee for his own abode: on the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove; who can faint, while such a river ever flows their thirst t'assuage?– grace which, like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a cov'ring, showing that the Lord is near: thus deriving from their banner light by night and shade by day, safe they feed upon the manna which he gives them when they pray. 4 Savior, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name: fading is the worldling's pleasure, all his boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know.

See our fathers and our mothers and our children sinking down; brethren, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around. 3 Sisters, will you join and help us? Moses' sister aided him; will you help the trembling mourners who are struggling hard with sin? Tell them all about the Savior– tell them that he will be found; sisters, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around. 4 Let us love our God supremely, let us love each other too; let us love and pray for sinners till our God makes all things new.
