When the Saints Go Marching In

Author: Luther G. Presley Hymnal: Singing Revival #23 (1953) First Line: I'm just a weary pilgrim Lyrics: 1 I’m just a weary pilgrim, Plodding thru this world of sin; Getting ready for that city When the saints go marching in. Refrain: When the saints go marching in, When the saints go marching in; Lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in. 2 My father loved the Savior, What a soldier he had been! But his steps will be more steady When the saints go marching in. [Refrain] 3 And mother, may God bless her, I can see her now, as then; With a robe of white around her When the saints go marching in. [Refrain] 4 Up there I'll see the Savior Who redeemed my soul from sin, With extended hands He'll greet me When the saints go marching in. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [I’m just a weary pilgrim]
