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 are complete

When 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

[ guitar ]

All the headlights will be gleaming Jesus is the engineer

Will you ride that train to Glory or will you linger here

When these golden bells start ringing when he calls us all aboard

Will you have your ticket ready for your Saviour and your Lord

Has your ticket yet been purchased...

[ mandolin ]

When through space we will be traveling leave this wicked world of hate

Then we'll know our destinations just beyond those perly gate

There we'll know there'll be no sorrow and no hurt we'll not adore

We shall dwell within his kingdom buy your ticket and be pure

Has your ticket yet been purchased...

[ steel ]

When you hear it in the distance hear its mighty drivers roar

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 the last lone whistle blow

Has your ticket yet been purchased...
