God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Another contribution to the Lenten Hymn project from the LDS Hymnal.

Music: William B. Bradbury, 1816-1868

Text: William Cowper, 1731-1800
Psalm 107:23-31
Romans 8:28

Verse 1:
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.

Verse 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.

Verse 3:
His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.

Verse 4:
Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan his works in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
