God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper, 1731–1800 Hymnal: LDS1985 #285 (1985) Person Name: William Cowper, 1731–1800 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. His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding ev’ry hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 4. Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan his works in vain; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.

I wander through the still of night, When solitude is ev’rywhere— Alone, beneath the starry light, And yet I know that God is there. I kneel upon the grass and pray; An answer comes without a voice. It takes my burden all away And makes my aching heart rejoice. 2. When I am filled with strong desire And ask a boon of him, I see No miracle of living fire, But what I ask flows into me. And when the tempest rages high I feel no arm around me thrust, But ev’ry storm goes rolling by When I repose in him my trust. 3. It matters not what may befall, What threat’ning hand hangs over me; He is my rampart through it all, My refuge from mine enemy. Come unto him all ye depressed, Ye erring souls whose eyes are dim, Ye weary ones who long for rest. Come unto him! Come unto him!

My soul vibrates; my poor heart sings When thy sweet Spirit strikes the strings. How sweet thy word I’ve heard this day! Be thou my guide, O Lord, I pray. May I in patience do my part. Seal thou the word upon my heart. 2. Do thou, O Lord, anoint mine eyes That I may see and win the prize. My heart is full; mine eyes are wet. Oh, help me, Lord, lest I forget. So may my soul be filled with light That I may see and win the fight, And then at last exalted be, In peace and rest, O Lord, with thee. 3. Look up, my soul; be not cast down. Keep not thine eyes upon the ground. Break off the shackles of the earth. Receive, my soul, the spirit’s birth. And now as I go forth again To mingle with my fellowmen, Stay thou nearby, my steps to guide, That I may in thy love abide.
