In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) First Line: The Lord assured the chosen race Lyrics: 1 The Lord assured the chosen race, From Egypt’s bondage brought, They should obtain the promised place; And find the rest they sought. 2 [Strong nations now possess the land, Yet yield not thou to doubt; With arm outstretched, and mighty hand, Thy God shall drive them out. 3 Not all at once, for fear thou find, The ravenous beasts of prey Rising upon thee from behind, As dangerous foes as they. 4 By little and by little, he Will chase them from thy sight; Believers are not called, we see, To sleep or play, but fight. 5 Spiritual pride, that rampant beast, Would rear its haughty head; True faith would soon be dispossessed, And carelessness succeed. 6 Corruptions make the mourners shun Presumption’s dangerous snare, Force us to trust to Christ alone, And fly to God by prayer. 7 By them we feel how low we’re lost, And learn, in some degree, How dear that great salvation cost, Which comes to us so free. 8 If such a weight to every soul Of sin and sorrow fall, What love was that which took the whole, And freely bore it all!] 9 O when will God our joy complete, And make an end of sin? When shall we walk the land, and meet No Canaanite therein? 10 [Will this precede the day of death, Or must we wait till then? Ye struggling souls, be strong in faith, And quit yourselves like men.] 11 Our dear Deliverer’s love is such, He cannot long delay; Meantime, that foe can’t boast of much, Who makes us watch and pray.
