SS&S 783: The walls of Jericho were strong
1. The walls of Jericho were strong;
But stronger was the mighty Lord:
And He -----the Captain of God's host----
Had given them His faithful word:-----
That if they would the walls surround,
And would the trumpets blow;
He then would give them victory,
And overthrow their foe.
2. The gates of Jericho were strong---
They could not any stronger be:
But there was One who them defied----
And with the host of God was He.
No work for Him would be too great,
Too hard to undertake;
For He could burst the gates of brass
The bars of iron break.
3. And we, O Lord, are waging war
Against the mighty hosts of sin:
And neither skill nor strength have we,
So oft have we defeated been.
But if Thou wilt our Captain be,
Our weakened ranks command,
Then led by Thee we'll face the foe.
His fierce assaults withstand.

(SS&S) Sacred Songs and Solos Hymns
Psalm 33
1 Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous;
it is fitting for the upright to praise him.
2 Praise the Lord with the harp;
make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.
3 Sing to him a new song;
play skillfully, and shout for joy.
4 For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.
5 The Lord loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of his unfailing love.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathers the waters of the sea into jars;
he puts the deep into storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the people of the world revere him.
9 For he spoke, and it came to be;
he commanded, and it stood firm.
10 The Lord foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,
the people he chose for his inheritance.
13 From heaven the Lord looks down
and sees all mankind;
14 from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth—
15 he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.
16 No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
19 to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.
20 We wait in hope for the Lord;
he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
22 May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you.
