'God moves in a mysterious way' lyrics

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

You fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds you so much dread Are big with mercy and shall break In blessings on your head.

His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding ev'ry hour. The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flow'r.

Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan his work in vain. God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.

Con maravillas obra Dios en la profundidad; calma la fiera tempestad y pasa por la mar.

Oh santos, ya valor mostrad; las nubes no temáis; llenas están de gran bondad y bendiciones dan.

Sus fines Dios revelará con todo esplendor; aunque amargo el botón, más dulce es la flor.

El que carezca de la fe en vano buscará. El gran intérprete es Dios; su plan aclarará.
