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.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:1-10 Used With Tune: IRISH

a lamp of burnished gold
to bear before the nations
your true light as of old.

by this their path to trace
till, clouds and darkness ended,
we see you face to face.

oh, lead us on the narrow way,
with wisest counsel guide us;
and give us steadfastness, that we
may follow you forever free,
no matter who derides us.
Gently heal those hearts now broken;
give some token you are near us,
whom we trust to light and cheer us.

let your good Word in doubt and strife
be in us strongly burning,
that we be faithful unto death
and live in love and holy faith,
from you true wisdom learning.

by your power Christ confessing,
we will cherish all your blessing. Used With Tune: WIE SCHÖN LEUCHTET
