God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper Appears in 1,132 hymnals Topics: Worship of God 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. e 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. Used With Tune: [God moves in a mysterious way]
