Psalm 107:23-31
Romans
8:28
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:
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 3:
His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
Verse 4:
Blind unbelief is sure to err
And scan his works in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
