God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,129 hymnals 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 You fearful saints, fresh courage take; the clouds you so much dread are big with mercy and shall break in blessings on your head. 4 His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour. The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower. 5 Blind unbelief is sure to err and scan his work in vain. God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain.
