General William Booth

Kings and Princes by the Lamb set free.
The banjos rattled and tambourines
Jing-jing-jingled in the hands of Queens.

    [Reverently sung, no instruments.]
And when Booth halted by the curb for prayer
He saw his Master thro' the flag-filled air.
Christ came gently with a robe and crown
For Booth the soldier, while the throng knelt down.
He saw King Jesus. They were face to face,
And he knelt a-weeping in that holy place.
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
