Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Isaiah 40:21-31 Lyrics: 1 Have we not known? Have we not heard
how from that throne on high
there sprang, at God's creative word,
our earth and sea and sky?
Beneath his heaven stands displayed
this firmly-founded world he made.
2 Our days on earth are in his hand,
our thread of life, how frail!
Before his greatness none can stand,
no mortal strength prevail.
All human pride and power must fall:
his kingdom stands and orders all.
3 The starry host he holds in place
and they his power proclaim;
beyond the darkest depths of space
he knows them all by name.
No hand but his could set them there,
no mind in majesty compare.
4 Have we not heard? Have we not known
how God shall still sustain
the heart that looks to him alone
and his eternal reign?
where borne aloft on eagles' wings
we share the song creation sings. Topics: Creation; God Father; Providence; Trust
