1. Valiant warrior was Joshua, son of Nun,aide to Moses in the prophetic office,Formed to be, as his name implies,the great savior of God’s chosen ones,To punish the enemyand to give to Israel their heritage.
2. What glory was his when he raised his hand,to brandish his sword against the city!
3. Who could withstand himwhen he fought the battles of the Lord?
4. Was it not by that same hand the sun stopped,so that one day became two?
5. He called upon the Most High Godwhen his enemies beset him on all sides,And God Most High answered himwith hailstones of tremendous power,
6. That rained down upon the hostile armytill on the slope he destroyed the foe;That all the doomed nations might knowthe Lord was watching over his people’s battles.He was indeed a devoted follower of God
