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
