God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #39 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm, 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, in blessings on your head. 3 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust Him for His grace; beneath a frowning providence He hides a smiling face, 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, and He will make it plain.
