God moves in a mysterious way
Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #CLXXII (1791) Topics: Trusting in Providence 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 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. Languages: English
God moves in a mysterious way
Peace, troubled soul, thou need'st not fear
Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #CLXXVII (1791) Topics: Trusting in Providence Lyrics: 1 Peace, troubled soul, thou need'st not fear,
Thy great provider still is near;
Who fed thee last, will feed thee still,
Be calm and sink into his will.
2 The Lord who built the earth and sky,
In mercy stoops to hear thy cry;
His promise all may freely claim,
"Ask and receive in Jesu's name."
3 His stores are open all and free
To such as truly upright be;
Water and bread he'll give for food
With all things else which he sees good.
4 Your sacred hairs which are so small,
By God himself are numbered all:
This truth he's publish'd all abroad,
That men may learn to trust the Lord.
5 The ravens daily he doth feed,
And sends them food as they have need,
Altho' they nothing have in store,
Yet as they lack he gives them more.
6 Then do not seek, with anxious care,
What ye shall eat, or drink, or wear:
Your heav'nly Father will you feed,
He knows that all these things you need.
7 Without reserve, give Christ your heart;
Let him his righteousness impart;
Then all things else he'll freely give,
With him you all things shall receive.
8 Thus shall the soul be truly blest,
That seeks in God his only rest,
May I that happy person be,
In time, and in eternity! Languages: English

Peace, troubled soul, thou need'st not fear
Sometimes a light surprises
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #458 (1899) Topics: Trust In Providence; Trust In Providence Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings;
It is the Lord, Who rises
With healing in His wings;
When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,
To cheer it after rain.
2 In holy contemplation,
We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God’s salvation,
And find it ever new;
Set free from present sorrow,
We cheerfully can say,
Let an unknown to-morrow
Bring with it what it may.
3 It can bring with it nothing
But He will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing,
Will clothe His people, too:
Beneath the spreading heavens
No creature but is fed;
And He who feeds the ravens,
Will give His children bread.
4 Though neither vine nor fig-tree
Its wonted fruit should bear,
Though all the fields should wither,
Nor flocks nor herds be there;
Yet God the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice;
For while in Him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: EVARTS

His wonders to perform,
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.

And works His sovereign will.

The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and will break
In blessings on your head.

But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.

And scan His work in vain.
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.

God moves in a mysterious way
There's not a bird with lonely nest
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #487 (1899) Topics: Trust In Providence Lyrics: 1 There’s not a bird with lonely nest,
In pathless wood or mountain crest,
Nor meaner thing, which does not share,
O God, in Thy paternal care.
2 Each barren crag, each desert rude,
Holds Thee within its solitude;
And Thou dost bless the wanderer there,
Who makes his solitary prayer.
3 In busy mart and crowded street,
No less than in the still retreat,
Thou, Lord, art near, our souls to bless
With all a parent’s tenderness!
4 And every moment still doth bring
Thy blessings on its loaded wing;
Widely they spread through earth and sky,
And last through all eternity!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: WARE
