Deuteronomy 1:29, 30: Dread not, neither be afraid of them., &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Thy messenger we hear,
Who tells us better things,
Numbers xxxv. 27 — Deuteronomy ii. 7.
Who in Thy name forbids our fear,
And joyful tidings brings:
The Lord our God and Guide,
Thou dost prepare our way;
Our Captain fights on IsraePs side.
And Christ shall win the day:
By Thee from Egypt led
We on to conquer go,
Confident in Thy strength to tread
On each devoted foe;
Thine arm stretch'd out again
Shall put forth all its power.
Till every Canaanite is slain.
And sin exists no more.
