1. God moves in mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea, And ride upon the storm. 2. Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall 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 purpose will ripen fast,Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter fast, 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.
