God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: W. Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,132 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm. Deep in unknown, unfathomed mines Of never-failing skill He treasures up His bright designs And works His sov'reign will. 2 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy and shall break In blessings on your head. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 3 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flow'r. Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan His work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain. Topics: Trinity 7 Used With Tune: SALVATION

The very hairs, His Word declares, Upon my head He numbers. By night and day God is my Stay, He never sleeps nor slumbers. 3 Lord Jesus, this I ask of Thee, Deny me not this favor: When Satan sorely troubles me, Then do not let me waver. Keep watch and ward, O gracious Lord, Fulfil Thy faithful saying: Who doth believe He shall receive An answer to His praying. 4 When life's brief course on earth is run And I this world am leaving, Grant me to say: "Thy will be done," By faith to Thee still cleaving. My heav'nly Friend, I now commend My soul into Thy keeping, O'er sin and hell, And death as well, Through Thee the vict'ry reaping.

Thring, 1823-1903 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 801 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon His throne; Hark! how the heav'nly anthem drowns All music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing Of Him who died for thee, And hail Him as thy matchless King Through all eternity. 2 Crown Him the Virgin's Son, The God incarnate born, Whose arm those crimson trophies won Which now His brow adorn; Fruit of the mystic rose, As of that rose the stem; The root whence mercy ever flows, The Babe of Bethlehem. 3 Crown Him the Lord of Love, Behold His hands and side, Rich wounds, yet visible above, In beauty glorified. No angel in the sky Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his wond'ring eye At mysteries so bright. 4 Crown Him the Lord of Life, Who triumphed o'er the grave And rose victorious in the strife For those He came to save. His glories now we sing Who died and rose on high, Who died eternal life to bring And lives that death may die. 5 Crown Him the Lord of Heav'n, Enthroned in worlds above; Crown Him the King to whom is giv'n The wondrous name of Love. Crown Him with many crowns As thrones before him fall; Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns, For He is King of all. Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
