[Verse 1] Five kings gathered against Gibeon, Armies climbed through the night. Joshua marched from Gilgal upward, Called to defend what was right. The Lord cast fear before Israel, Great hail fell from the sky; More fell beneath the stones of heaven Than Israel's sword nearby. [Chorus] Sun, stand still over Gibeon. Moon, wait over Ajalon. Let the daylight hold for battle Till the work of war is done. Never before and never after Was a day like that made long; The Lord fought for Israel While Joshua's courage stood strong. [Verse 2] The kings hid deep within a cavern; Stones were rolled against the door. Captains placed their feet above them, Then the chase went on once more. City by city, southward moving, Fortress after fortress fell; The God who held the lights of heaven Gave the land as He foretold. [Break] A day stretched wide. A prayer was heard. Creation held Before the word. [Final Chorus] Sun, stand still over Gibeon. Moon, wait over Ajalon. The heavens served the Lord of battle; The fleeing darkness could not come. Israel returned to Gilgal When the southern war was won; The Lord fought for His people Beneath the halted sun.
