God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,127 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 19:10 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 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 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.
