The Glorious Gospel Train

Are you at your sta­tion rea­dy

For the near ap­proach­ing train?

Are you fully con­tem­plat­ing

That a pass you will ob­tain?

Is there some im­port­ant mat­ter

You have left be­hind un­done

That will keep you he­si­tat­ing

Till too late to make the run?

O be rea­dy for the glo­ri­ous Gos­pel train

Quickly make your pre­pa­ra­tion

And your pass­port have in hand;

O be rea­dy for the glo­ri­ous Gos­pel train

It will take you safe­ly ov­er

To the glo­ry spir­it land.

Has your ti­tle been re­cord­ed

That no quest­ion can be made?

Does your pre­pa­ra­tion war­rant

That you shall not be de­layed?

When you see the head­light gleam­ings

As around the curves they climb

Have you any fears and doubt­ings

That you’ll not get in on time?

Are your gar­ments nice­ly fit­ted

That ac­cept­ed you may be

As a guest on board for Heav­en

Trav’ling for eter­ni­ty?

Do you hold the blood­stained ban­ner

Of Em­ma­nu­el in your hand

With your claims in­scribed up­on it

And a ride for Heav’n de­mand?

’Tis the on­ly sig­nal

bro­ther

That will make your pas­sage sure

That will stop the migh­ty en­gine

And a seat to you se­cure;

That will give you close con­nect­ion

And a nev­er fail­ing hand

That will take you safe­ly ov­er

To the glo­ry spir­it land.
