God moves in a mysterious way

Author: W. Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,143 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill He treasures up His bright designs, And works His sovereign will. 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. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour. The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan His works in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain.

Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost

Author: C. Wordsworth Meter: 7.7.7.5 Appears in 207 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost, Taught by Thee, we covet most, Of Thy gifts of Pentecost Holy, heavenly love. 2 Faith that mountains could remove, Tongues of earth or heaven above, Knowledge, all things, empty prove, Without heavenly Love. 3 Though I as a martyr bleed, Give my goods the poor to feed, All is vain if love I need; Therefore give us Love. 4 Love is kind, and suffers long, Love is meek and thinks no wrong, Love than death itself more strong; Therefore, give me love. 5 Prophecy will fade away, Melting in the light of day; Love will ever with us stay: Therefore give me love. 6 Faith and hope and love we see, Joining hand in hand, agree; But the greatest of the three, And the best, is Love.
