Oh when the saints go marchin' in
American Traditional Composer Unknown
Lagu ini sangat terkenal walau pengarang tidak dikatahui pasti.
Irama dibuat Jazz, agar tidak menghilangkan tradisional African American.
Dasar alkitab dari lagu ini adalah pada 1 yohanes 5 : 19-20
Kita tahu, bahwa kita berasal dari Allah dan seluruh dunia berada di bawah kuasa
si jahat.
Akan tetapi kita tahu, bahwa Anak Allah telah datang dan telah mengaruniakan
pengertian kepada kita, supaya kita mengenal Yang Benar; dan kita ada di dalam
Yang Benar, di dalam Anak-Nya Yesus Kristus. Dia adalah Allah yang benar dan
hidup yang kekal.
Oh when the saints go marchin' in
Oh when the saints go marchin' in
Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marchin' in!
When Gabriel blows that golden horn
When Gabriel blows that golden horn
Lord, I want to be in that number
When he blows that golden horn!
When they go through them Pearly Gates
When they go through them Pearly Gates

When they go through them Pearly Gates!
Oh when they ring them silver bells
Oh when they ring them silver bells
Lord, I want to be in that number
Oh when they ring them silver bells!
And when the angels gather 'round
And when the angels gather 'round
Lord, I want to be in that number
When the angels gather 'round!
And when they're singing "Hallelu!"
And when they're singing "Hallelu!"

When they're singing "Hallelu!"

When they crown Him King of Kings!
