General William Booth Enters into Heaven, title poem of a volume by Vachel Lindsay, published in 1913. Intended to be sung to the music of the hymn The Blood of the Lamb, its vigorous drumbeat rhythms describe the apotheosis of the Salvation Army founder, who enters the gates of Paradise at the head of a troop of criminals and slum dwellers:Christ came gently with a robe and crown
For Booth the soldier, while the throng knelt down.
