God moves in a mysterious way

Hymnal: BW1867 #38 (1867) 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 sovereign will. 3 Ye fearful saints! fresh courage take: The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and will 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 work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain.

The cause and cure of your complaints: Know, 'tis your heavenly Father's will: Bid every murmur then be still. 3 He sees, we need the painful yoke; Yet love directs His heaviest stroke. He takes no pleasure in our smart, But wounds to heal and cheer the heart. 4 Blest trials those that cleanse from sin, And make the soul all pure within, Wean the fond mind from earthly toys, To seek and taste celestial joys!
