LYRICS
So Joshua son of Nun
Had to get the job done
Had to get the battle won

It came to be found
… just turn up the sound

They found… just turn up the sound

Blow trumpets
Show rhythm
Now our battle hymn, “Shout!” x6

And the walls came tumbling down

Make a joyful noise
All the earth
Break forth into joyous song

“trumpet sound;
lute and flute
tambourine and dance;
strings and pipe
sounding cymbals;
no, no… with loud clashing cymbals!

play loudly on musical instruments, on harps and lyres and cymbals, to raise sounds of joy
And they sang a new song

suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace

the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy”

The song is based on these bible verses:

Joshua 5:13-6:27

6 Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.

2 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. 5 When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.”

6 So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.” 7 And he ordered the army, “Advance! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark of the Lord.”

15 On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times. 16 The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout!”

Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! …
