God Moves in a Mysterious Way

V1 God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform He plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm Deep in His dark and hidden mines, With never failing skill He fashions all His bright designs, And works His sovereign will CH So God we trust in You, O God we trust in You V2 O fearful saints new courage take, The clouds that you now dread Are big with mercy and will break, In blessings on your head Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace Behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face CH So God we trust in You, O God we trust in You When tears are great and comforts few We hope in mercies ever new We trust in You V3 God’s purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain
