[Verse 1] A captain stood with a sword in his hand; Joshua bowed at the edge of the land. Not by man's side did the warrior appear; Holy ground answered and silenced his fear. Jericho shut like a clenched iron fist, But heaven gave orders no siegecraft had guessed. [March Refrain] Once around in silence, Six days the same. Ark in the middle, Priests before the name. Seven horns sounding, Footsteps on the ground; On the seventh morning, Seven times around. [Chorus] The trumpets cried, The people shouted, The walls came down beneath the sound. No ladder climbed, No ram had struck them; The walls fell flat upon the ground. The scarlet cord remained unbroken; Rahab's house stood safe and sound. The city closed against the promise, But the walls came down. [Verse 2] Silver and gold were reserved for the Lord; Nothing devoted was taken or stored. Rahab and kindred were brought from the place, A foreign household received into grace. Joshua charged that the ruins remain, A witness of judgment, a warning of pain. [Final Chorus] The trumpets cried, The people shouted, The walls came down beneath the sound. The road to Canaan opened farther; The walls came down.
