Providence

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Laudes Domini #116 (1890) Topics: Sailors; Sailors First Line: God moves in a mysterious way 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 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take! The clouds ye so much dread, Are big with mercy, and will break In blessings on your head. 3 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 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.
