\nGod moves in a mysterious way
\nHis wonders to perform;
\nHe plants His footsteps in the sea,
\nAnd rides upon the storm.<\/p>\n
2
\nYe fearful saints, fresh courage take;
\nThe clouds ye so much dread
\nAre big with mercy, and shall break
\nIn blessings on your head.<\/p>\n
3
\nJudge not the Lord by feeble sense,
\nBut trust Him for His grace;
\nBehind a frowning providence
\nHe hides a smiling face.<\/p>\n
4
\nHis purposes will ripen fast,
\nUnfolding every hour;
\nThe bud may have a bitter taste,
\nBut sweet will be the flower.<\/p>\n
5
\nBlind unbelief is sure to err,
\nAnd scan His work in vain;
\nGod is His own interpreter,
\nAnd He will make it plain.<\/p>\n
