God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Appears in 1,127 hymnals Matching Instances: 109 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 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. 3 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 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. Amen. Topics: God the Father His Providence; God the Father Care and Guidance Used With Tune: DUNDEE (French)
