God Moves in a Mysterious Way

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 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.


Author: William Cowper (1774)

I couldn't find a good recording of anyone singing this beautiful hymn with this tune and harmonies. So here's a video of an instrumental arrangement.
