Gospel Train

The gospel train's a-comin'
I hear it just at hand
I hear the car wheels a-movin'
And a-rumblin' through the land

Oh, get on board, little children
Get on board, little children
Get on board, little children
There's room for many-a more!

I hear the bell and whistle
She's comin' 'round a curve
She's loosened all her steam and power
And strainin' every nerve

Oh, get on board, little children
Get on board, little children
Get on board, little children
There's room for many-a more!

The fare is cheap and all can go
The rich and poor are there
No second class on board this train
No difference in the fare

Oh, get on board, little children
Get on board, little children
Get on board, little children
There's room for many-a more!

She's nearin' now the station
Oh, sinner, don't be vain
But come and get your ticket
And be ready for this train

Oh, get on board, little children
Get on board, little children
Get on board, little children
There's room for many-a more!
