Verse 1

The road to heav’n by Christ was made, With heav’nly truth the rails are laid; From earth to heav’n the line extends, To life eternal where it ends.

Chorus

All get aboard the Gospel train, We’ll run it thro’ in Jesus’ name, We’re going home, We’re going home, We’re going home To die no more.

Verse 2

Repentance is the station, then, Where passengers are taken in; No fee for them is there to pay, For Jesus is Himself the way.

Chorus

All get aboard the Gospel train, We’ll run it thro’ in Jesus’ name, We’re going home, We’re going home, We’re going home To die no more.

Verse 3

The Bible is the engineer, It points the way to heav’n so clear, Thro’ tunnels dark and dreary here, It does the way to glory steer.

Verse 6

And then to glory we will go, With all on board as white as snow. So ring the bell and start the train, And run it thro’ in Jesus’ name.

All get aboard the Gospel train, We’ll run it thro’ in Jesus’ name, We’re going home, We’re going home, We’re going home To die no more.
