God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,127 hymnals Scripture: Romans 11:33 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 His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour. The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower. 5 Blind unbelief is sure to err and scan his work in vain. God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain.

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 900 hymnals Scripture: Romans 11:33-35 Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy Like the wideness of the sea; There’s a kindness in God's justice Which is more than liberty. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 2 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of our mind, And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple We should take him at his word, And our lives would be thanksgiving For the goodness of our Lord. 3 Troubled souls, why will you scatter Like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will you wander From a love so true and deep? There is welcome for the sinner And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior, There is healing in his blood.

Hymn 114

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: Romans 11:16-17 First Line: Gentiles by nature, we belong Lyrics: Gentiles by nature, we belong To the wild olive wood; Grace took us from the barren tree, And grafts us in the good. With the same blessings grace endows The Gentile and the Jew; If pure and holy be the root, Such are the branches too. Then let the children of the saints Be dedicate to God, Pour out thy Spirit on them, Lord, And wash them in thy blood. Thus to the parents and their seed Shall thy salvation come, And num'rous households meet at last In one eternal home.
