Lyrics

Stand like Caleb, tho’ the world op­pose;
Victory’s key­note is be­liev­ing;
There’s no dan­ger from ten thou­sand foes,
God’s al­migh­ty pow’r re­ceiv­ing.

Refrain

Stand like Ca­leb! fear no foe,
Trust, ye doubt­ing, in Je­ho­vah’s might;
God is lead­ing, for­ward go,
Never fal­ter in the cause of right.

Are there gi­ants in the up­ward way?
Are there ci­ties walled to hea­ven?
Glorious vic­t’ry shall be ours each day,
Trusting God by whom ’tis giv­en.

Refrain

There’s a land with milk and ho­ney blest;
Why be faith­less and faint­heart­ed?
On Je­ho­vah’s strong as­sur­ance rest,
Sin’s de­fense is now de­part­ed.
