| On a new and sunlit shore (then a new world is in store) | |
| Oh when the saints go marching in | |

| Oh lord I want to be in that number | |
| When the saints go marching in | |
| And when the sun refuse (begins) to shine | |

| When the new world is revealed | |
| When the revelation (revolution) comes | |
