There's
a gospel train a -comin'
Be sure that you're on hand
Have you one way to get ready
for that glorious promised land
What rejoicing at the depot
when we reach that home on high
Be sure your reservation's
on that crack train when you die
Oh, that glorious gospel train
will soon be here
Don't be afraid at all
for Jesus is the engineer
With an gels for the watchman
giving signals on the fly
Prepare to board that gospel train
for the people in the sky
You cannot buy your ticket
not with silver or with gold
Nor with the minor worldly things,
your ticket is your soul
So be sure to have it ready,
don't get on that other train
Where the devil is the en gineer,
your trip will be in vain
Oh, that glorious gospel train
will soon be here
Don't be afraid at all
for Jesus is the engineer
With an gels for the watchman
giving signals on the fly
Prepare to board that gospel train
for the depot in the sky
Too many people wait too late
to try to get their fare
And fail to make connections
with that station way up there
Then when that gospel train come by
there'll be a great demand
For that one way ticket to the depot
in that promised land
Oh, that glorious gospel train
will soon be here
Don't be afraid at all,
for Jesus is the engineer
With an gels for the watchman,
giving signals on the fly
Prepare to board that gospel train
for the depot in the sky
