=About the poet=
William Cowper (1731-1800) William Cowper began to write poetry late in life and as means of keeping his mind from brooding over those torturing religious anxieties which more than once turned his melancholy into positive madness. His principal poem is `The Task'.

=Introduction to the poem=
The poem God Moves in a Mysterious Way tells us how God is beyond human perception and how weakly we understand Him. It tells us that the kindness of God tastes bitter in the beginning but has the soothing effect of nectar.
=Text of the poem=
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform
[[File:God moves in amysterious way saraswati GHS Laxmipur Shorapur Rabindranath Tagore Jyothi html m7d94c101.jpg]]
He plants his foot steps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm
[[File:God moves in amysterious way saraswati GHS Laxmipur Shorapur Rabindranath Tagore Jyothi html 209f4399.jpg]]
Judge not the lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace.
[[File:God moves in amysterious way saraswati GHS Laxmipur Shorapur Rabindranath Tagore Jyothi html 351a80b2.jpg]]
Behind a frowning providence,
He hides a smiling face.
[[File:God moves in amysterious way saraswati GHS Laxmipur Shorapur Rabindranath Tagore Jyothi html m5c20594c.jpg]]
His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour
[[File:God moves in amysterious way saraswati GHS Laxmipur Shorapur Rabindranath Tagore Jyothi html 471c7968.jpg]]
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower
[[File:God moves in amysterious way saraswati GHS Laxmipur Shorapur Rabindranath Tagore Jyothi html m5f56ce53.jpg]]
Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain
[[File:God moves in amysterious way saraswati GHS Laxmipur Shorapur Rabindranath Tagore Jyothi html 34171095.jpg]]
God his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
