Joshua 10:6: The men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua, &c

Besieged by all the powers of night
For having made a peace with God,
Unequal to our foes in fight,
To Joshua in His high abode
Our prayers, as messengers, we send,
And trust Thou wilt Thine own defend.

Slack not Thine hand, but hasten down
To save Thy servants in distress.
By mercy bound to help Thine own.
Bound by Thy covenant of peace,
Thou canst not fail the souls, who trust
That Thou art good, that Thou art just.
