God moves in a mysterious way
神的行動奇妙、高超，
His wonders to perform:
成就使人驚異；
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
深如海洋，動如風暴，
And rides upon the storm.
仍屬神的旨意。

Deep in unfathomable mines
祂的蘊藏，深不可測，
Of never-failing skill,
巧妙永可信倚，
He treasures up His bright designs,
動用祂的智慧計策，
And works His sovereign will.
行祂無上旨意。

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
畏怯聖徒，從此放心！
The clouds ye so much dread
你們所怕厚雲，
Are big with mercy, and shall break
現在滿載神的憐憫，
In blessings on your head.
降雨賜你福分！

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
莫憑感覺議論主愛，
But trust Him for His grace;
惟要信祂恩典；
Behind a frowning providence
祂的笑臉常是藏在
He hides a smiling face.
嚴厲命定後面。

His purposes will ripen fast,
祂的計畫逐漸成熟，
Unfolding every hour:
正沿時日推展；
The bud may have a bitter taste,
苞雖難免生澀帶苦，
But sweet will be the flower.
花卻必定芳甘。

Blind unbelief is sure to err,
盲目不信必致錯失，
And scan His work in vain;
觀察必歸徒然；
God is His own Interpreter,
神會自己向人解釋，
And He will make it plain.
一切都必了然。
