God Moves in a Mysterious Way
Unveiling the Mysteries of Divine Providence
Lyrics
God moves in a mysterious way, his wonders to perform
God operates in mysterious ways to accomplish His wonders.
He plants his footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm
God's influence extends to the sea, and He controls storms.
In infinite and boundless mines of never-failing skill
God possesses infinite and boundless skill that never fails.
He treasures up his bright designs and works his sovereign will
He stores up His brilliant plans and enacts His sovereign will.
Oh, how deep is your wisdom, God
Acknowledgment of God's deep wisdom.
Just and true in all your ways
God is just and true in all His ways.
In every trial, you prove your love
Even in trials, God demonstrates His love.
You are good always
Emphasis on God's eternal goodness.
Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take, the clouds ye so much dread
Encouragement for fearful believers to take courage.
Are filled with mercy and shall break with blessings on your head
Difficulties (clouds) will bring blessings to believers.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense but trust him for his grace
Advises not to judge God based on limited understanding but trust in His grace.
Behind a frowning providence, he hides a smiling face
In challenging times, God hides a smiling face behind a frowning providence.
Oh, how deep is your wisdom, God
Reiteration of God's profound wisdom.
Just and true in all your ways
God is consistently just and true.
In every trial, you prove your love
Even in trials, God's love is evident.
You are good always
Confirmation of God's eternal goodness.
His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour
God's plans unfold quickly, with bitter experiences leading to eventual sweetness.
The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower
Metaphorically, challenges may be bitter, but the outcome will be sweet.
Blind unbelief is sure to err and scan his works in vain
Warning against unbelief, emphasizing the futility of scrutinizing God's works.
God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain
God interprets His own actions, and understanding will come.
God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain
Reiteration of God as the ultimate interpreter.
Oh, how deep is your wisdom, God
Reiteration of God's profound wisdom.
Just and true in all your ways
God's actions are consistently just and true.
In every trial, you prove your love
Even in trials, God's love is proven.
You are good always
Confirmation of God's eternal goodness.
Oh, how deep is your wisdom, God
Reiteration of God's profound wisdom.
Just and true in all your ways
Consistency in God's just and true ways.
In every trial, you prove your love
Even in trials, God's love is evident.
You are good always
Confirmation of God's eternal goodness.
