Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said,
Numbers 13:30Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
Words: Franklin E. Belden, 1894.
Music: Edwin Barnes (🔊 pdf nwc).
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.
