Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho

Traditional spiritual

Chorus:

Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho.
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho,
And the walls came tumbling down.

You may talk about your kings of Gideon,
You may talk about your men of Saul,
But there’s none like good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho.

Chorus.

Now the Lord commanded joshua:
«I command you, and obey you must;
You just march straight to those city walls
And the walls will turn to dust».

Chorus.

Straight up to the walls of Jericho
He marched with spear in hand,
«Go blow that ram’s horn», Joshua cried,
«For the battle is in my hand».

Chorus.

The lamb-ram-sheep horns began to blow
And the trumpets began to sound,
And Joshua commanded, «Now, children, shout!»
And the walls came tumbling down.

Chorus.
