3.On every hand the foe we findDrawn up in dread array;Let tents of ease be left behind,And onward to the fray.Salvation's helmet on each head,With truth all girt about,The earth shall tremble 'neath our tread,And echo with our shout.

The people are strong.

The cities are fortified and very

large.

The descendants of Anak

are there.

However...

The people are stronger

than we.

The land devours it’s inhabitants.

The people are of great height.

We are not able to go...
