Have You Not Known
Have you not known, have you not heard
That firm re-mains on high
The ev-er-last-ing throne of Him
Who formed the earth and sky?
Are you a-fraid his power shall fail
When comes your e-vil day?
And can an all-cre-a-ting arm
Grow wea-ry or de-cay?
Su-preme in wis-dom as in power
The Rock of A-ges stands,
Though Him you can-not see, nor trace
The work-ing of His hands.
He gives the con-quest to the weak,
Sup-ports the faint-ing heart;
And cou-rage in the e-vil hour
His hea-venly aids im-part.
Mere hu-man power shall fast de-cay,
And youth-ful vig-or cease;
But they who wait up-on the Lord
In strength shall still in-crease.
They with un-wear-ied feet shall tread
The path of life di-vine;
With grow-ing ar-dor on-ward move,
With grow-ing bright-ness shine.
On ea-gles' wings they mount, they soar--
Their wings are faith and love--
Till, past the cloud-y re-gions here,
They rise to heaven above.
