Strange is his deed, alien is his work.

Strange is his deed
Alien is his work
Strange is his deed
Who can fathom
The work of his work?
His healing hand
The saving of a soul
The mending of the broken
The strengthening of the weak
Love that forever flows
Towards mankind
Incredible patience He shows
As He draws us near
Into His everlasting arms
The hope He gives
How He does all this and much more
Is alien to us
Strange is His deed
Yet
Everlasting is his love.

For the Lord will rise up as on Mount Perazim;
as in the Valley of Gibeon he will be roused;
to do his deed—strange is his deed!
and to work his work—alien is his work! Isaiah 28:21 (ESV)
