GOD MOVES IN AMYSTERIOUS WAY(William Cowper)

God moves in a mysterious wayHis wonders to perform

He plants His footsteps in the seaAnd rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines Of never failing skill

He treasures up His bright designsAnd works His sovereign will.

Ye fearful saints fresh courage take;

The clouds ye so much dreadAre big with mercy and shall break

In blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense;But trust Him for His grace;

Behind a frowning providenceHe hides a smiling face.

His purposes will ripen fast,Unfolding every hour;

The bud may have a bitter tasteBut sweet will be the flower.

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