When the Saints Go Marching In Lyrics

We are traveling in the footsteps
Of those who've gone before
But we'll all be reunited (but if we stand reunited)
On a new and sunlit shore (then a new world is in store)O when the Saints go marching in
When the Saints go marching in
O Lord, I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching inAnd when the sun begins to shine
And when the sun begins to shine
O Lord, I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching inWhen the moon turns red with blood
When the moon turns red with blood
O Lord, I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching inOn that hallelujah day
On that hallelujah day
O Lord, I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching inO when the trumpet sounds the call
O when the trumpet sounds the call
O Lord, I want to be in that number

When the Saints go marching inSome say this world of trouble
Is the only one we need
But I'm waiting for that morning
When the new world is revealedWhen the revelation comes
When the revelation comes
O Lord, I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching inWhen the rich go out and work
When the rich go out and work
O Lord, I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching inWhen the air is pure and clean
When the air is pure and clean
O Lord, I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching inWhen we all have food to eat
When we all have food to eat
O Lord, I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching inWhen our leaders learn to cry
When our leaders learn to cry
O Lord, I want to be in that number
When the Saints go marching in
