�Twas the Lord of hosts that
led us out of Egypt�s sand;
And He led us through the
Red Sea by His mighty hand,
Never halting in the
wilderness, but His command
Gave assurance we were able
to possess the land.
Refrain
We are
able to go up and take the
country,
And possess the land from
Jordan to the sea;
And, though giants tall be
there our way to hinder,
God will surely give the
victory.
When the spies brought
back the message, this is
what they said:
�Against giants and walled
cities, we cannot be led�;
But a Caleb and a Joshua
said, �They�ll be as bread�;
We are able to go up,
possess the land ahead.
Refrain
When we crossed the river
Jordan, in the land we
found:
Wine and oil and milk and
honey, richest fruits
abound;
Sparkling fountains, and the
showers come upon the
ground;
We are able, Hallelujah! Let
God�s praise resound.
Refrain
There�s no thirsting for
old Egypt, since we�re in
this way,
And we care not what the
critics or the ten spies
say;
For the land abounds in
plenty, and we�re here to
stay,
Won�t you come and join us,
brother, enter in today?
Refrain
