 No. 27.

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.
