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.
…Ellen, enjoy your Sunday in your gorgeous part of the world.
This is a new song for me. I like it. Thank you.
Yes, it’s Sunday. Because you posted a hymn.
I am going to look up the tune for this hymn.
This is one I’m not familiar with! The words are beautiful.
I have never heard this hymn before, but I love the words that are part of The Word!!
