Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face.


“Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,

But trust Him for His grace;

Behind a frowning providence

He hides a smiling face.

His purposes will ripen fast,

Unfolding every hour;

The bud may have a bitter taste,

But sweet will be the flower.”

God Moves in a Mysterious Way, William Cowper


※Cowper was known for his intense emotional struggles.
