304. God Moves in a Mysterious Way

1 God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform,
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm,
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.

Refrain:
We'll trust Him then while life shall last,
Till ev'ry trying hour is past;
Whate'er our lot on earth shall be,
We'll put our trust, O Lord, in Thee.

2 Deep in unfathomable mines,
Of never-failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sov'reign will,
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sov'reign will. [Refrain]

3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on our head,
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on our head. [Refrain]

4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace,
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face,
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face. [Refrain]

5 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding ev'ry hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flow'r,
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flow'r. [Refrain]

6 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain,
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain,
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain. [Refrain]
