Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #158 (2008) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: God in mystery 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,
with 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 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
and scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
and he will make it plain. Scripture: Ephesians 1:9 Languages: English Tune Title: LONDON NEW
