It Was the
Road to
Jericho
It was the road to Jericho, And brave indeed the man Who went alone and waited not To join the caravan. |
For robber hoards swooped down the cliffs Like eagles on their prey, And mercy was not known to them, Theirs but to kill and slay. |
Along the road to Jericho A man went riding by, He heard a groan of mortal pain, He heard a piercing cry. |
