The Lord Upholds the Faltering Feet

The Lord up­holds the fal­ter­ing feet

And makes the weak se­cure­ly stand;

The bur­dened ones

bowed down with grief

Are helped by His most gra­cious hand.

The eyes of all up­on Thee wait

By Thee their wants are all sup­plied;

Thine op­en hand is boun­ti­ful

And ev­ery soul is sa­tis­fied.

The Lord is just in all His ways

In all His works the Lord is kind

And all that call on Him in truth

In Him a pre­sent help­er find.

He will ful­fill the heart’s de­sire

Of those that fear Him and ob­ey;

Their cry the Lord will sure­ly hear

And He will save them when they pray.

His great sal­va­tion they shall know

Who love the Lord’s most ho­ly name;

The wick­ed He will ov­er­throw

And put His ene­mies to shame.

My mouth shall speak the glo­ri­ous praise

Of Him whom Heav­en and earth ad­ore;

Let all ex­alt His ho­ly name

Forever and for­ev­er­more.
