1 O when the saints go marching in,
O when the saints go marching in,
O Lord, I want to be in that number
when the saints go marching in.

O when the sun refused to shine,
O Lord, I want to be in that number
when the sun refused to shine.

O when they crown Him Lord of all,
O Lord, I want to be in that number
when they crown Him Lord of all.
