Jehovah the Strength of his People. Isa. 40. 29

1 Whence do our mournful thoughts arise?
  And where’s our courage fled?
  Has restless sin and raging hell
  Struck all our comforts dead?

2 Have we forgot the almighty Name
  That formed the earth and sea?
  And can an all-creating arm
  Grow weary, or decay?

3 Treasures of everlasting might
  In our Jehovah dwell;
  He gives the conquest to the weak,
  And treads their foes to hell.

4 Mere mortal power shall fade and die,
  And youthful vigour cease;
  But we that wait upon the Lord
  Shall feel our strength increase.

5 The saints shall mount on eagles’ wings,
  And taste the promised bliss,
  Till their unwearied feet arrive
  Where perfect pleasure is.
