Numbers 13:30: In vain, ye fearful, faithless spies

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

In vain, ye fearful, faithless spies,
Ye mis-report the land so good;
We stop our ears against your lies
"That sin can never be subdued."
There's no unconquerable sin:
If God lead forth His host to fight.
We may, we must, the battle win,
And all o'ercome in Jesu's might.
