Verse 1
The Lord told Joshua to go to Jericho, And to march sev'n times around; He followed faithfully the blessed Lord's command, And the walls came tumbling down.
Verse 2
If you are trusting in the power of the blood, And you hope to wear a crown; Go forward quickly, and obey the holy word, Walls of doubt will tumble down.
Verse 3
The Lord is calling, sinner, come to Him today, Turn from this vain world's renown; If you will follow Him in faith, like Joshua, Walls of sin will tumble down.
Chorus
Yes, the walls (Yes, the walls, Yes, the walls, yes, the walls) came tumbling down; Joshua, (Joshua, Joshua, Joshua) marched seven times 'round, (Then the walls, then the walls, mighty walls,) mighty walls (all the walls) came tumbling down, And the walls came tumbling down.
