Lyrics
Verse 1
The Lord told Joshua to go to Jericho,
And to march sev'n times a round;
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 came tumbleing down;
Joshua, marched seven times 'round,
Then the walls came tumbleing down,
And the walls came tumbling down.

Scriptural Foundations
20So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, everyone straight ahead, and they took the city.
