Supreme in wisdom as in power

Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Hymnal #535 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Supreme in wisdom as in power The Rock of Ages stands; Though Him thou canst not see, nor trace The working of His hands. 2 He gives the conquest to the weak, Supports the fainting heart; And courage in the evil hour His heavenly aids impart. 3 Mere human power shall fast decay, And youthful vigor cease; But they who wait upon the Lord In strength shall still increase. 4 They with unwearied feet shall tread The path of life Divine; With growing ardor onward move, With growing brightness shine. 5 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar, Their wings are faith and love; Till, past the cloudy regions here, They rise to heaven above. Amen.

Hymnal: Hymnal #475 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Supreme in wisdom as in power The Rock of Ages stands; Though canst not search His mind, nor trace The working of His hands. 2 He gives the conquest to the weak, Supports the fainting heart; And courage in the evil hour His heavenly aids impart. 3 Mere human energy shall faint, And youthful vigor cease; But those who wait upon the Lord In strength shall still increase. 4 They, with unwearied step, shall tread The path of life divine: With growing ardour onward move, With growing brightness shine. 5 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar On wings of faith and love; Till, past the sphere of earth and sin, They rise to heaven above.
