God Moves in a Mysterious Way
WORDS: William Cowper
MUSIC and REFRAIN: K. Jason French
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.
Refrain:
God of mercy!
God of grace!
Give us eyes to see!
Eyes to see Your smiling face within the mystery,
within the mystery!
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 ev’ry hour,
The bud may have a bitter taste,
but sweet will be the flow’r!
6. Blind unbelief is sure to err
and scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter
and He will make it plain!
