HE GIVETH POWER TO THE FAINT




Supreme in wisdom as in power,
The Rock of Ages stands;
We see him not, yet may we trace
The working of his hands.


He gives the conquest to the weak,
Supports the fainting heart,
And courage in the evil hour
His heavenly aids impart.


More human power shall fast decay,
And youthful vigour cease;
But they who wait upon the Lord
In strength shall still increase.


They with unwearied feet shall tread
The path of life divine;
With growing ardour onward move,
With growing brightness shine.


On eagle's wings they mount, they soar—
The wings of faith and love;
Till, past the cloudy regions here,
They rise to heaven above.
