Let Joshua's solemn charge,
To Israel's army giv'n,
persuade the souls of all, this day,
To choose the God of heaven.
How blessed is the choice,
To serve and love the Lord;
May he each heart constrain to feed
Upon his sacred word.
This will afford us joy
In ev`ry scene of grief;
From hence will flow our daily peace—
Our comfort and relief.
Amidst our doubts and fears,
Our choice of God will prove,
That he first chose us by his grace
As subjects of his love.
May sinners round us see
How wise was Joshua’s choice,
And feel constrain’d by sovereign love
In Jesus to rejoice.
