Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Waiting upon God Lyrics: 1 Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard That firm remains on high The everlasting throne of him Who formed the earth and sky? 2 Art thou afraid his pow'r shall fail When comes thine evil day? And can an all-creating arm Grow weary or decay? 3 Supreme in wisdom as in pow'r The Rock of Ages stands, Though him thou canst not see, nor trace The working of his hands. 4 He gives the conquest to the weak, Supports the fainting heart, And courage in the evil hour His heav'nly aids impart. 5 Mere human pow'r shall fast decay, And youthful vigor cease; But they who wait upon the Lord In strength shall still increase. 6 They with unwearied feet shall tread The path of life divine, With growing ardor onward move, With growing brightness shine. 7 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. Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 40:28 Used With Tune: DUNDEE Text Sources: Alt. in Scottish Paraphrases,, 1781

Hallelujah, praise Jehovah

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: Waiting upon God Lyrics: 1 Hallelujah, praise Jehovah, O my soul, Jehovah praise; I will sing the glorious praises Of my God through all my days. Put no confidence in princes, Nor for help on man depend; He shall die, to dust returning, And his purposes shall end. 2 Happy is the man that chooses Israel's God to be his aid; He is blessed whose hope of blessing On the Lord his God is stayed. Heav'n and earth the Lord created, Seas and all that they contain; He delivers from oppression, Righteousness he will maintain. 3 Food he daily gives the hungry, Sets the mourning pris'ner free, Raises those bowed down with anguish, Makes the sightless eyes to see. Well Jehovah loves the righteous, And the stranger he befriends, Helps the fatherless and widow, Judgment on the wicked sends. 4 Hallelujah, praise Jehovah, O my soul, Jehovah praise; I will sing the glorious praises Of my God through all my days. Over all God reigns for ever, Through all ages he is King; Unto him, thy God, O Zion, Joyful hallelujahs sing. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 146 Used With Tune: RIPLEY Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Entreaty and Hopeful Trust

Wait on the Lord, nor faint, nor fear, Yea, trust and wait, the Lord is near. Scripture: Psalm 27 Used With Tune: SAMUEL
