God moves in a mysterious way

49
						C.M.


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.
