Olney Hymn 68: Light Shining Out Of Darkness

God moves in a mysterious way,

  His wonders to perform;

He plants his footsteps in the sea,

  And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines

  Of never-failing skill,

He treasures up his bright designs,

  And works his sov'reign will.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,

  The clouds ye so much dread

Are big with mercy, and shall break

  In blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,

  But trust him for his grace;

Behind a frowning providence

  He hides a smiling face.

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.

(Blind unbelief is sure to err,...): John xiii.7.
