[Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard]
He Giveth Power to the Faint
Author: Julia H. Johnston Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard Lyrics: 1 Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard,
That God, the Lord of all,
Who faileth not nor weary grows,
Upholdeth all that fall.
O sorely tried and troubled heart,
To Him bring thy complaint;
To weary ones He giveth strength
And pow'r unto the faint.
2 Lift up your eyes, behold on high,
The radiant worlds afar;
His word is pledged that none shall fail,
He nameth ev'ry star.
O doubting heart, in faith draw nigh,
The children's portion claim;
He hath redeemed from sin and death,
He calleth thee by name.
3 His word divine shall be thy guide,
His love a sweet constraint;
O trust in Him who giveth grace
And power to the faint.
Wait, thou, on god, the Source, alone,
Whence all thy comfort springs;
And thus thou shalt thy strength renew,
And mount on eagle's wings. Used With Tune: [Hast thou not known, hast thou not heard]

================
Peter Philip Bilhorn was born, in Mendota, IL. His father died in the Civil War 3 months before he was born. His early life was not easy. At age 8, he had to leave school to help support the family. At age 15, living in Chicago, he had a great singing voice and sang in German beer gardens there. At this time, he and his brother also formed the Eureka Wagon & Carriage Works in Chicago, IL. At 18 Peter became involved in gospel music, studying under George F. Root and George C. Stebbins. He traveled to the Dakotas and spent some time sharing the gospel with cowboys there. He traveled extensively with D. L. Moody, and was Billy Sunday's song leader on evangelistic endeavors. His evangelistic work took him into all the states of the Union, Great Britain, and other foreign countries. In London he conducted a 4000 voice choir in the Crystal Palace, and Queen Victoria invited him to sing in Buckinghm Palace. He wrote some 2000 gospel songs in his lifetime. He also invented a folding portable telescoping pump organ, weighing 16 lbs. It could be set up in about a minute. He used it at revivals in the late 19th century. He founded the Bilhorn Folding Organ Company in Chicago. IL, and his organ was so popular it was sold all over the world. He edited 10 hymnals and published 11 gospel songbooks. He died in Los Angeles, CA, in 1936.
