Have You Not Known, Have You Not Heard?

Have you not known

have you not heard

That firm re­mains on high

The ev­er­last­ing throne of Him

Who formed the earth and sky?

Are you afraid His pow­er shall fail

When comes your ev­il day?

And can an all cre­at­ing arm

Grow wea­ry or de­cay?

Supreme in wis­dom as in pow­er

The Rock of Ag­es stands

Though Him you can­not see

nor trace

The work­ing of His hands.

He gives the con­quest to the weak

Supports the faint­ing heart;

And cour­age in the ev­il hour

His heav­en­ly aids im­part.

Mere hu­man pow­er shall fast de­cay

And youth­ful vi­gor cease;

But they who wait upon the Lord

In strength shall still in­crease.

They with un­wear­ied feet shall tread

The path of life di­vine;

With grow­ing ar­dor on­ward move

With grow­ing bright­ness shine.

On ea­gles’ wings they mount

they soar

Their wings are faith and love;

Till

past the clou­dy re­gions here

They rise to Heav’n ab­ove.
