The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#70

70. 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.

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

3 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour.
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.

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

AMEN.
