Numbers 14:9: Neither fear ye the people of the land, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Come on ye faithful souls, come on,
T s Joshua cries, " Be of good cheer,"
Your Leader to the land unknown.
Who knows your hearts forbids your fear:
Led by almighty truth and grace,
To sure and easy conquest led,
The promise claim, the land possess.
And eat up all your foes like bread.

The Lord Himself is on our side,
His presence in our camp we have,
And those that in His name confide
Jesus shall to the utmost save:
Then let us go with boldness up
Gainst sin, the world, and Satan's powers.
And never faint, and never stop.
For God, and Christ, and all is ours.
