God moves in a mysterious way
Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,142 hymnals Topics: The Activity of God God in human experience 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
with 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 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense
but trust him for his grace;
behind a frowning providence
he hides a smiling face.
5 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
and scan his work in vain,
God is his own interpreter,
and he will make it plain. Scripture: Ephesians 1:9 Used With Tune: LONDON NEW

Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home!

Still may we dwell secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages, in Thy sight,
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night,
Before the rising sun.
5 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come;
Be Thou our guide while life shall last,
And our eternal home! Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
Preserve us in his grace,
And guide us in distress,
And free us from all sin,
Till heaven we possess.

And shall be evermore. Scripture: Sirach 50:22 Used With Tune: NUN DANKET

I sing aloud His praises,
That men may hear the grateful song
My voice unwearied raises;
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart,
Both soul and body bear your part:
To God all praise and glory.

Give God all praise and glory;
All ye who own His pow'r, proclaim

The Lord is God, and He alone:
To God all praise and glory.
Amen.

In all life Thou livest--the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish--but naught changeth Thee.

Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All praise we would render--O help us to see
'Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!
