Joshua Fought The Battle of Jericho

Lyrics
Joshua fit the battle around Jericho(Around) Jericho, (around) JerichoJoshua fit the battle around JerichoAnd the walls come tumbling down
 
God knows thatJoshua fit the battle around Jericho(Around) Jericho, around JerichoJoshua fit the battle around JerichoAnd the walls come tumbling down
 
Good morning sister MaryGood morning brother JohnWell, I wanna stop and talk with youWanna tell you how I come along
 
I know you’ve heard about JoshuaHe was the son of NunHe never stopped his work untilUntil the work was done
 
God knows thatJoshua fit the battle around Jericho(Around) Jericho, (around) JerichoJoshua fit the battle around JerichoAnd the walls come tumbling down
 
You may talk about your men of GideonYou may brag about your men of SaulThere’s none like good old JoshuaAt the battle of Jericho
 
Up to the walls of JerichoHe marched with spear in hand”Go blow them ram horns”, Joshua cried”’Cause the battle is in my hands”
 
God knows thatJoshua fit the battle around Jericho(Around) Jericho, (around) JerichoJoshua fit the battle around JerichoAnd the walls come tumbling down
 
You may talk about your men of GideonYou may brag about your king of SaulThere none like JoshuaAt the battle of Jericho
 
They tell me, great God that Joshua’s spearWas well nigh twelve feet longAnd upon his hip was a double edged swordAnd his mouth was a gospel horn
 
Yet, bold and brave he stoodSalvation in his hand”Go blow them ram horns”, Joshua cried”’Cause the devil can’t do you no harm”
 
Joshua fit the battle around JerichoJericho, (around) JerichoJoshua fit the battle around JerichoAnd the walls come tumbling down
 
Then up to the walls of JerichoHe marched with spear in hand”Go blow them ram horns”, Joshua cried”’Cause the battle is in my hands”
 
Then the lamb ram sheep horns began to blowThe trumpets began to soundOld Joshua shouted, ”Glory!”And the walls came tumblin’ down
 
God knows thatJoshua fit the battle around Jericho(Around) Jericho, (around) JerichoJoshua fit the battle around JerichoAnd the walls come tumbling-(Down, down, down, down, down, tumbling down
