Excerpt from General William Booth Enters Into Heaven: And Other Poems General William Booth Enters Into Heaven [To be sung to the tune of The Blood of the Lamb with Indicated instrument] I [Bass drum beaten loudly.] Booth led boldly with his big bass drum - (Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?) The Saints smiled gravely and they said: "He's come." (Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?) Walking lepers followed, rank on rank, Lurching bravoes from the ditches dank, Drabs from the alleyways and drug fiends pale - Minds still passion-ridden, soul-powers frail: - Vermin-eaten saints with mouldy breath, Unwashed legions with the ways of Death - (Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?)
