What's that sound down in Jericho?
(Singing, singing in the midnight hour)
Marching, waiting for the trumpets to blow
(Singing, singing in the midnight hour)
God's people marched seven times around
The walls of the city came a-tumblin' down
They were led by a heavenly power
Singing in the midnight hour

What's that sound coming out of the jail?
(Singing, singing in the midnight hour)
Preachers with no one to go their bail
(Singing, singing in the midnight hour)
They prayed till the Lord started shaking the ground
They never even knew when the walls camе down
Surrounded by a heavenly powеr
Singing in the midnight hour

God's people know that deliverance comes
When the troubles and the trials are finally done
The world keeps bringing on the flood and the fire
But we're still singing…in the midnight hour

What's that sound ringing out of the sky?
(Singing, singing in the midnight hour)
The saints of God are getting ready to fly
(Singing, singing in the midnight hour)
There in that dawn of resurrection day
With the blast of a trumpet we'll be called away
Raptured by a heavenly power
Singing in the midnight hour
God's people know that deliverance comes
When the troubles and the trials are finally done
The world keeps bringing on the flood and the fire
But we're still singing…in the midnight hour
