Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #16 (1957) 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 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
3 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
4 His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
5 Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain.
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.
Amen. Topics: God the Father His Providence; God the Father Care and Guidance Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE (French)
