Hast Thou Not Known, Hast Thou Not Heard

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals 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 you cannot 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.

Behold what witnesses unseen

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold what witnesses unseen encompass us around; men, once like us, with suff'ring try'd, but now with glory crown'd. 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspir'd, begin the Christian race, and, freed from each encumb'ring weight, their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a witness nobler still, who trod affliction's path, Jesus, at once the finisher and author of our faith. 4 He for the joy before him set, so gen'rous was his love, endur'd the cross, despis'd the shame, and now he reigns above. 5 If he the scorn of wicked men with patience did sustain, becomes it those for whom he dy'd to murmur or complain? 6 Have ye like him to blood, to death, the cause of truth maintain'd? and is your heav’nly Father’s voice forgotten or disdain'd? 7 My son, saith he, with patient mind endure the chast’ning rod; believe, when by afflictions try'd, that thou art lov'd by God. 8 His children thus most dear to him their heav’nly Father trains, through all the hard experience led of sorrows and of pains. 9 We know he owns us for his sons, when we correction share; nor wander as a bastard race, without our Father’s care. 10 A father’s voice with rev’rence we on earth have often heard; the Father of our spirits now demands the same regard. 11 Parents may err; but he is wise, nor lifts the rod in vain; his chast’nings serve to cure the soul by salutary pain. 12 Affliction, when it spreads around, may seem a field of woe; yet there, at last, the happy fruits of righteousness shall grow. 13 Then let our hearts no more despond, our hands be weak no more; still let us trust our Father’s love, his wisdom still adore.

He will not let thy foot be moved, Thy Guardian never sleeps; With watchful and unslumbering care, His own He safely keeps. 3. Thy faithful keeper is the Lord, Thy shelter and thy shade; ’Neath sun or moon, by day or night, Thou shalt not be afraid. 4. From evil He will keep thee safe, For thee He will provide; Thy going out, thy coming in, Forever He will guide.

Lord, it belongs not to my care

Author: Richard Baxter Appears in 267 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to our care Whether we die or live; To love and serve Thee be our share, And this Thy grace must give. 2 Christ leads us through no darker rooms Than He went through before; Whoever to God's kingdom comes, Must enter by this door. 3 Come, Lord, when grace hath made us meet Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet, What will Thy glory be? 4 There shall we end our sad complaints, And weary sinful days; And join with the triumphant saints That sing Jehovah's praise. 5 Our knowledge of that life is small, The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And we shall be with him.

Jesus, our Lord, how rich Thy grace!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 190 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, our Lord, how rich Thy grace! Thy bounties how complete! How shall we count the matchless sum, How pay the mighty debt? 2 High on a throne of radiant light Dost Thou exalted shine: What can our poverty bestow, When all the worlds are Thine? 3 But Thou hast brethren here below, The partners of Thy grace, And wilt confess their humble names Before Thy Father's face. 4 In them Thou may'st be clothed and fed, And visited and cheered; And in their accents of distress Our Saviour's voice is heard. 5 Thy face, with reverence and with love, We in Thy poor would see; Oh, may we minister to them, And in them, Lord, to Thee.
