"When the Saints Go Marching In" is a traditional gospel hymn that has been performed by numerous artists in various styles. The song's lyrics describe the joy and celebration that will occur when the saints (i.e., believers in Jesus Christ) enter heaven. The song's title is a reference to the Book of Revelation in the Bible, which describes a great multitude of saints standing before the throne of God, singing and praising Him.
The song has become associated with New Orleans jazz funerals and is often played as a lively, upbeat tune to celebrate the life of the deceased. The song's message of hope and redemption has made it a beloved hymn among Christians and a symbol of the joy that awaits believers in the afterlife.
