I'm gon' sing, I'm gon' shout,
praise The Lord!
When the gates are open wide,
I'm gon' sit by Jesus' side,
I'm gon' sing, I'm gon' shout,
praise The Lord!

This train is bound for glory,
get on board for the Gospel story!

Oh when the Saints go marchin' in,
Lord I want to be in that number,
when the Saints go marchin' in.

Swing low, sweet chariot,
comin' for to carry me home.

Amen!
