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
Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs
And works His sovereign will.
CHORUS
God of mercy, God of grace
Give us eyes to see;
Eyes to see your smiling face
Behind the mystery
Behind the mystery
VERSE 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.
VERSE 4
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
CHORUS
VERSE 5
His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flow’r.
VERSE 6
Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan His work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.
CHORUS
