1. The gospel train is coming,
     I hear it just at hand,
   I hear the car wheels moving,
     And rumbling thro' the land.

Chorus: [Signo]
   Get on board, children,
     Get on board, children,
   Get on board, children,
     For there's room for many a more. [D. S.]

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.
      Cho.—Get on board, children, &c.

3. No signal for another train
     To follow on the line,
   O, sinner, you're forever lost,
     If once you're left behind.
      Cho.—Get on board, children, &c.

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.

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.

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.
