"God Moves In A Mysterious Way" is a Christian Hymn, written in 1773, by William Cowper, from England.
The words were composed by William Cowper (1731–1800). Comprising six verses, they were written in 1773, just before the onset of a depressive illness, during which Cowper attempted suicide by drowning.
The Text was first published by Cowper's friend, John Henry Newton, in his "Twenty-Six Letters On Religious Subjects"; to which are added Hymns in 1774. The Hymn was later published in "Olney Hymns", which Cowper co-wrote with Newton. Entitled "Conflict: Light Shining Out Of Darkness", it was accompanied by a Text from Saint John's Gospel, Chapter 13: Verse 7, which quotes Jesus saying to his Disciples; "What I do, thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter."
