God moves in a mysterious way

- God moves in a mysterious way
- his wonders to perform;
- he plants his footsteps in the sea,
- and rides upon the storm.
- Deep in unfathomable mines
- of never-failing skill,
- he treasures up his bright designs,
- and works his sov'reign will.
- Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
- the clouds ye so much dread
- are 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 providence
- he hides a shining face.
- His purposes will ripen fast,
- unfolding ev'ry hour;
- the bud may have a bitter taste,
- but sweet will be the flow'r.
- Blind unbelief is sure to err,
- and scan his work in vain;
- God is his own interpreter,
- and he will make it plain
