I remember it from the Authorised Version, but especially from Isaiah 46:4, "And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you."<BR/>That verse is then picked up in the hymn 'How firm a foundation' when it says,<BR/>"E'en down to old age all My people shall prove<BR/>My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;<BR/>And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,<BR/>Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne."<BR/>('K' in Rippon's Selection, 1787)<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately our modern hymnbook deletes that verse completely.Mike Huttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02528070023673967835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22109261.post-2957540915057950132008-02-01T00:21:00.000-05:002008-02-01T00:21:00.000-05:00Could "hoary" be the word you're looking for?hoary...Could "hoary" be the word you're looking for?<BR/><BR/>hoary |ˈhôrē|<BR/>adjective ( hoarier , hoariest )<BR/>1 grayish-white : hoary cobwebs.<BR/>• (of a person) having gray or white hair; aged : a hoary old fellow with a face of white stubble.<BR/>• [ attrib. ] used in names of animals and plants covered with whitish fur or short hairs, e.g., hoary bat, hoary cress.<BR/>2 old and trite : that hoary American notion that bigger is better.<BR/>DERIVATIVES<BR/>hoarily |ˈhôrəlē| |ˈhɔrəli| adverb<BR/>hoariness |ˈhɔrin1s| nounR.
