God moves in a mysterious way by Anonymous — Lyrics
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 neverfailing skill
he treasures up his bright designs,
and works his sovereign 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.

About God moves in a mysterious way
This arrangement of the well-known hymn tune offers a robust setting for SATB choir. The anonymous composer has crafted a work that effectively conveys the text's message of faith and divine providence. The music explores the text's themes, beginning with the immeasurable power of God, moving through the idea of His hidden plans and purposes, and culminating in the assurance of His mercy for those who trust Him. The four vocal parts are often interwoven, creating a rich texture that supports the hymn's profound theological statements. The choral writing is accessible, making it a suitable choice for choirs seeking to explore this inspirational text.
