God moves in a mysterious way Hymn YORUBA Ona ara l’Olorun wa YORUBA Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS: God moves in a mysterious way

And Thy footsteps are not known. Ps.77:19

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 blessing on your head.

4. Judge not the lord by feeble sense
    But trust Him for His grace,
    Behind a frowning providence
    cr He hides a smiling face.

5. His purpose will ripen fast,
    Unfolding every hour;
    The bud may have a bitter taste,
    But sweet will be the flow'r.

6. Blind unbelief is sure to err,
    And scan His work in vain;
    God is His own interpreter,
    And He will make it plain.

Amen.
