(Verse 1)
Oh what a celebration
Forgetting where we’ve been.
Now we’re standing on the top of Zion
Triumphing over sin.
First the angels will start singing
Then the joy bells start ringing
We’ll tour all over Heaven
When the saints go marching in.
(chorus)
Oh won’t that be a hallelujah meeting
When you step in the other side.
Where the saints of old
Standing with a greeting
To welcome us across the tide.
We’ll lift glad hands together
Go shouting off through the land.
And when you think it’s just about ending
It will happen all over again.
(Verse 2)
Well I’ve been laughed at here for shouting
Since a many long years ago.
But I’ve got more than just religion
When Jesus saved my soul.
I got way down deep salvation
Like no mortal tongue can tell
And a standing invitation
To a hallelujah spell.
