HAVE YOU NOT KNOWN, HAVE YOU NOT HEARD

[1]
Have you not known, have you not heard,
that firm remains on high
the everlasting throne of him
who formed the earth and sky?

[2]
Are you afraid his power shall fail
when comes your evil day?
And can an all-creating arm
grow weary or decay?

[3]
Supreme in wisdom as in power
the rock of ages stands;
though him you cannot see, nor trace
the working of his hands.
.

[4]
He gives the conquest to the weak,
supports the fainting heart;
and courage in the evil hour
his heavenly aids impart.

[5]
Mere human power shall fast decay,
and youthful vigour cease;
but they who wait upon the Lord
in strength shall still increase.

[6]
They with unwearied feet shall tread
the path of life divine,
with growing ardour onward move,
with growing brightness shine.
