Dare to Stand Like Joshua

We are bound for Ca­naan land

Tenting by the way;

Who shall lead us on the road?

Choose your king to­day.

Dare to stand like Jo­shua

Dare to say the word;

As for me and for my house

We will serve the Lord.

Many tri­als we have seen

Thus far on our way;

He hath led us safe­ly thro’;

Shall He lead to­day?

When the dark Red Sea of doubt

Billowed in our way;

Then He part­ed ev­ery wave—

So He will to­day.

Can we safe­ly trust a guide

Who knows not the way?

God hath tra­veled ev­ery foot—

Shall He lead to­day?

Just be­fore us Jor­dan rolls

Right across the way;

We can safe­ly trust the Lord

He shall lead to­day.
