Joshua Fit the Battle

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

Around Jericho around Jericho

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

And the walls come tumblin' down

God knows that

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho, around Jericho, around Jericho

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

And the walls come tumblin' down

Good morning sister Mary

Good morning brother John

Well, I wanna stop and talk with you

Wanna tell you how I come along

I know you've heard about Joshua

He was the son of Nun

He never stopped his work until

Until the work was done

God knows that

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho, Jericho Jericho

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

And the walls come tumblin' down

You may talk about your men of Gideon

You may brag about your men of Saul

There's none like good old Joshua

At the battle of Jericho

Up to the walls of Jericho

He marched with spear in hand

"Go blow them ram horns", Joshua cried

"'Cause the battle is in my hands"

God knows that

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho, Jericho, Jericho

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

And the walls come tumbling down

You may talk about your men of Gideon

You may brag about your king of Saul

There's none like Joshua

At the battle of Jericho

They tell me, great God that Joshua's spear

Was well nigh twelve feet long

And upon his hip was a double edged sword

And his mouth was a gospel horn

Yet bold and brave he stood

Salvation in his hand

"Go blow them ram horns", Joshua cried

"'Cause the devil can't do you no harm"

God knows that

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho, Jericho Jericho

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

And the walls come tumblin' down

Then up to the walls of Jericho

He 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 blow

The trumpets began to sound

Old Joshua shouted, "Glory"

And the walls come tumblin' down

God knows that

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho, Jericho Jericho

Joshua fit the battle around Jericho

And the walls came tumblin' down, down, down, down, down, tumbling down
