[Silence, ye unbelieving fears]

Caleb stilled the people, and said, Let us go up, &c. —xiii. 30.

Silence, ye unbelieving fears,
Who clamorously deny the word!
The promise on our side appears,
The power and goodness of our Lord:
Let us go up in Jesu's name:
Our sins shall all to Christ submit,
And who for us the world o'ercame,
Shall bruise the fiend beneath our feet.
Is anything too hard for God?
Through Jesus we can all things do;
Who Satan and his works destroy'd,
Shall make us more than conquerors too:
Let us at once the land possess,
And taste the blessings from above,
The milk sincere of pardoning grace,
The honey of His perfect love.
