1 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

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.
