Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E31 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 sov'reign 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 works in vain:
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain. Topics: Care and Guidance Languages: English Tune Title: ST. STEPHEN
