No. 27. The Gospel Train.
1. The gospel train is coming,
I hear it just at hand,
I hear the car wheels moving,
And rumbling thro' the land.
CHORUS: Get on board, children,
Get on board, children,
Get on board, children,
For there's room for many a more.
2. I hear the bell and whistle,
The coming round the curve;
She's playing all her steam and pow'r
And straining every nerve.
CHORUS.
3. No signal for another train
To follow on the line,
O, sinner, you're forever lost,
If once you're left behind.
CHORUS.
4. This is the Christian banner,
The motto's new and old,
Salvation and Repentance
Are burnished there in gold.
Cho. — Get on board, children, &c.
CHORUS.
5. She's nearing now the station,
O, sinner, don't be vain,
But come and get your ticket,
And be ready for the train.
Cho. — Get on board, children, &c.
CHORUS.
6. The fare is cheap and all can go,
The rich and poor are there,
No second-class on board the train,
No difference in the fare.
Cho. — Get on board, children, &c.
CHORUS.
7. There's Moses, Noah and Abraham,
And all the prophets, too,
Our friends in Christ are all on board,
O, what a heavenly crew.
Cho. — Get on board, children, &c.
CHORUS.
8. We soon shall reach the station,
O, how we then shall sing,
With all the heavenly army,
We'll make the welkin ring.
Cho. — Get on board, children, &c.
CHORUS.
9. We'll shout o'er all our sorrows,
And sing forever more,
With Christ and all his army,
On that celestial shore.
Cho. — Get on board, children, &c.
CHORUS.
