God moves in a mysterious way
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #170 (1917) Topics: God Mystery of; God Mystery of 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 sovereign 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 flower.
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 Tune Title: LONDON NEW

glimpses of the meaning of the commonplace,
visions of the holy in each human face.

thank you for composers tuning us to hear
echoes of the Gospel in the songs we sing,
sounds of love and longing from the deepest spring.

praise for tale and drama telling who we are,
stripping to the essence struggles of our day,
times of change and conflict when we choose our way.

you are the spring of our new life,
the very light of our new day.
2 How strangely you are with us, Lord,
neither in height nor depth to seek:
in nearness shall your voice be heard;
spirit to spirit you will speak.
3 Christ is our advocate on high;
you are our advocate within:
O plead the truth, and make reply
to every argument of sin.
4 But what a faithless heart of mine:
the way I know, I know my guide:
forgive me, O my friend divine,
that I so often turn aside.
5 Be with me when no other friend
the mystery of my heart can share;
be always known, when fears descend,
by your best name of Comforter.

God Is Working His Purpose Out
Author: Arthur C. Ainger, 1841-1919 Hymnal: Worship (3rd ed.) #507 (1986) Meter: Irregular Topics: Mystery of God Lyrics: 1 God is working His purpose out
As year succeeds to year;
God is working his purpose out,
And the time is drawing near;
Nearer and nearer draws the time,
The time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled
With the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
2 From utmost east to utmost west,
Wherever foot has trod,
By the mouth of many messengers
Goes forth the voice of God:
Give ear to me, ye continents,
Ye isles, give ear to me,
That the earth may be filled
With the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
3 March we forth in the strength of God,
With the banner of Christ unfurled,
That the light of the glorious gospel of truth
May shine throughout the world:
Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin
To set their captives free,
That the earth may be filled
With the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea.
4 All we can do is worthless toil
Unless God blesses the deed;
Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide
Till God gives life to the seed;
Yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
The time that shall surely be,
When the earth shall be filled
With the glory of God
As the waters cover the sea. Scripture: Isaiah 11:9 Languages: English Tune Title: PURPOSE
