To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
So, Lily, it is good for those, Who would be free from wily foes, To meet them in the open plain. Decisive vict'ry there to gain. The fight will be the Fight of Faith ; To Joshua, and to us, God saith : " The Lord shall fight for you ; be still, « And let Him work in you His Will. " We consecrate ourselves for War ; Then Faith mounts the triumphal car ; 92 Lily and Leander. We let the Lord our en'mies rout ; And, standing still, we vict'ry shout. For Seven Years this Holy War Was waged in Canaa...n, Not a scar. Nor wound, nor loss, nor pain was felt — No timid heart with fear did melt, — Except through Achan's wilful sin. When God did glorious vict'ry win At Jericho. His selfish greed There led him on to traitorous deed ; And, full of lust, his hand he soils. That wedge of gold and all the spoils Were God's — firstfruits of victory — An off ring for His treasury, 'Twas God he robbed — a heinous sin ; — No more can Israel vict'ry win Till sin is purged. So Achan dies By God's command in cursed guise.
