Answer 1

Answer:

.......God carries out his plans in a mysterious way, the speaker says. Even though you may not understand what He does, He fashions and executes His designs for humanity with "never failing skill" (line 6). Be not afraid of the celestial clouds, the speaker says; they rain with divine mercy. The speaker tells the reader to trust God, for "Behind a frowning providence/ He hides a smiling face (lines 15-16).  

.......God works fast, the speaker says, and if the bud of His work taste bitter, the flower will be sweet.  

.......Those who lack faith in Him—those who attempt to fathom his mind—are certain to err, the speaker observes. Only God alone can interpret His ways, and He will make them plain.
