Text: | God moves in a mysterious way |
Author: | William Cowper, 1731-1809 |
Tune: | LONDON NEW |
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 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
the clouds ye 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.
