Do you not know? Have you not heard

Do you not know? 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 will 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 hearts;
and courage in the evil hour
his help from heaven imparts.

5. Mere human power shall fade and die,
and youthful vigour cease;
but those who wait upon the Lord
in strength shall still increase.

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