Error in article: "God Moves in a Mysterious Way" (Italics added):

[First paragraph of article: Cowper wrote hymn AFTER his attempted suicide in 1773] "God Moves in a Mysterious Way" is a Christian hymn, written in 1773 by William Cowper from England. It was written by Cowper in 1773 as a poem entitled "Light Shining out of Darkness",[1] The poem is the likely source for the phrase "God moves in mysterious ways", although the first line of the poem actually runs "God moves in a mysterious way."[2] The poem, the last hymn text that Cowper wrote, was written following his attempted suicide while living at Olney. John Newton published the poem the next year in his Twenty-six Letters on Religious Subjects; to which are added Hymns (1774).

[Second paragraph of article: Cowper wrote hymn BEFORE his attempted suicide in 1773] 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.
