Have You Not Known Isaac Watts (1674-1748)

ST. ANNE (C.M.) William Croft (1678-1727)

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 a-bove.
