That Glory Bound Train

(Album: Singing On Sunday - 1962)

Come and listen won't you brother
Have you heard or don't you know
There's a train that's bound for glory
Will you ride it when it goes

Have you made all preparations
Reservations all complete
Will you hear that whistle blowing
Will you be there at your seat

Has your ticket yet been purchased
For that glory bound train
Oh, will you ride oh will you ride
Will you ride that train to glory by and by

Oh, the headlight will be gleaming
Jesus is the engineer
Will you ride this train to glory
Or will you be waiting here

When it's golden bell starts ringing
When he calls out all aboard
Will you have your ticket ready
For your savior and your lord

Has your ticket yet been purchased
For that glory bound train
Oh, will you ride oh will you ride
Will you ride that train to glory by and by

When you hear it in the distance
Hear its mighty drivers roll
Just a little while to tarry
Then we'll walk those streets of gold

Will those loved ones who have journeyed
Just a little while ago
Meet you there at heaven's station
When that last long whistle blow

Has your ticket yet been purchased
For that glory bound train
Oh, will you ride oh will you ride
Will you ride that train to glory by and by
