Come on, ye faithful souls, come on

Verse 1
Come on ye faithful souls, come on,
Tis Joshua cries, “Be of good chear,”
Your leader to the land unknown,
Who knows your hearts forbids your fear:
Led by almighty truth and grace,
To sure and easy conquest led,
The promise claim, the land possess,
And eat up all your foes like bread.

Verse 2
The Lord himself is on our side,
His presence in our camp we have,
And those that in his name confide
Jesus shall to the utmost save:
Then let us go with boldness up
’Gainst sin, the world, and Satan’s powers,
And never faint, and never stop,
For God, and Christ, and all is ours.
