God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,127 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 50:20 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 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
the clouds ye 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 ev'ry hour;
the bud may have a bitter taste,
but sweet will be the flow'r.
6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
and scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
and he will make it plain.

Joseph Confronting his Brethren
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 50:20 First Line: Smote to the heart, by conscious guilt Lyrics: 1 Smote to the heart, by conscious guilt
Of wrong, intended Joseph's blood,
His trembling brethren sue for peace,
And dread chastisement's iron rod.
2 Though evil they—yet Joseph good,
Comforts, speaks kind, wipes off their tears,
And standing as the type of God,
Removes each doubt—and calms all fears.
3 Thus does the soul of sinful men,
Heap indignation, anguish, wrath;
Till heav'n's own purpose in the plan,
Gleams mercy round his clouded path.
4 Lord, thou art good—supremely good!
No condemnation comes from thee:
When enemies redeem'd by blood;
Much more, thy life shall set us free. Topics: Patriarchal Types, and Prophecies of Christ

Author: Josiah Conder Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 50:17-20 Lyrics: 1 Father, now your sinful child
through your love is reconciled.
By your pard'ning grace I live;
daily still I cry, forgive.
2 Lord, forgive me, day by day,
debts I cannot hope to pay,
duties I have left undone,
evils I have failed to shun.
3 Pardon, Lord, and are there those
who my debtors are, or foes?
I, who by forgiveness live,
here their trespasses forgive.
4 Much forgiven, may I learn
love for hatred to return;
then my heart assured shall be
you, my God, have pardoned me. Topics: Forgiveness; Confession of Sin; Faith; Forgiveness; Justification Used With Tune: HERRNHUT
