Like Caleb and Joshua stand,
On the borders of the promised land,
Obeying Jehovah’s command, saying,

Refrain

As for me and my house,
As for me and my house,
As for me and my house,

Tell it out to every doubting band;
Faith bringeth the triumph God planned, saying,

Refrain

Walled cities go seven times round,
Perseverance is with victory crowned;
Sin giants of habit are bound, saying,
