Rahab heard, believed, and without delay
She hastened the Word of Life to obey.
Her fears were all gone, for by oath and by word
Salvation and peace to her house were secured.
Ah, say, has your faith like Rahab’s of old,
On the Word of the God of Truth laid hold?
Have you bound in your heart the scarlet line?
Can you say, The Saviour of sinners is mine?
For the day of the Lord is near at hand,
And who before Him may abide to stand
When trembling nature shall quiver with fear,
And the earth depart like a hunted deer?
