Tune: From Strength To Strength
('Soldiers of Christ arise'; 8-line verses)
Joshua Chapter 1 part
**********
Joshua, now be strong
Trust the Lord all along
For it is He that commands you
To be firm, strong, and true
And do bold courage take
Progress in the Lord make
Enemies not before you stand
When you led by God's hand
Turn not to left or right
Keep the Lord in your sight
Take and read the book of the law
It shall be your help sure
I the LORD your God shall
Be with you, guide you well
Wheresoever you go, I stay
With you through night and day
So onward they did go
God's presence they did know
To enter Promised Land for sure
To enemies conquer
Lead us on too, Lord, here
By faith to us appear
Possessing land through Christ your Son
The victorious one
