God Moves in Mysterious Ways

God moves in a mysterious way


His wonders to perform;


He plants His footsteps in the sea


And rides upon the storm.


Deep in unfathomable mines


Of never failing skill


He treasures up His bright designs


And works His sov’reign will.


Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;


The clouds ye so much dread


Are big with mercy and shall break


In blessings on your head.


Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,


But trust Him for His grace;


Behind a frowning providence


He hides a smiling face.


His purposes will ripen fast,


Unfolding every hour;


The bud may have a bitter taste,


But sweet will be the flow’r.


Blind unbelief is sure to err


And scan His work in vain;


God is His own interpreter,


And He will make it plain.


By: William Cowper
