God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: Together in Song #126 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Mystery of God's Love 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 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 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.

Brighter is faith’s surmise, shining in pilgrim eyes, from which our waking spirits spring. 3 Age after age we rise, ‘neath the eternal skies, into the light from the shadowed past: still shall our pilgrim song, buoyant and brave and strong, resound while life and mountains last.
