Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,128 hymnals Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:9-15 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.

In the days we spend together, in the feasts that we prepare, In the times of joy and laughter, may we know your loving care. Yet, O Lord, we see you crying for the ones who know no rest, For your children, hungry, dying, for the homeless and oppressed. May we, as your sons and daughters, share with open heart and hand, Till your justice flows like water to the poor throughout the land. Bless, O Christ, our gifts of caring, for we know without a doubt: Soup and bread are made for sharing, hands are made for reaching out. Even in our times of playing, may we keep the vision clear: Keep us serving, loving, praying, welcoming your kingdom here.
