That Glory Bound Train

Roy Acuff - Odell McLeod

© Acuff-Rose Music, BMI

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 for that Glory bound train...
[ 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 for that Glory bound train...
[ 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 for that Glory bound train...

This World Is Not My Home

Mary Reeves - Albert E. Brumley

© Bridge Building Music, BMI

This world is not my home I'm just passing through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home then Lord what will I do
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

They're all expecting me and that's one thing I know
My Saviour pardoned me and now I onward go
I know he'll take me through though I am weak and poor
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you...
[ steel ]
I have a loving mother just up in Gloryland
And I don't expect to stop until I shake her hand
She's waiting now for me in heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you...

Just up in Gloryland we'll live eternaly
The saints on every hand are shouting victory
Then songs of sweetest praise drift back from heaven's shore
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore

Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you...

Drifting Too Far From The Shore

Chas Moody

© Bridge Building Music, BMI

Out on the perilous deep
Where dangers silently creep
And storms so violently sweep
You're drifting too far from the shore

Drifting too far from the shore
You're drifting too far from the shore
Come to Jesus today let him show you the way
You're drifting too far from the shore
[ guitar - steel ]
Today the tempest rolls high
And clouds o'er shadow the sky
Sure death is hovering nigh
You're drifting too far from the shore

Drifting too far from the shore...
[ guitar ]
Drifting too far from the shore...

Great Speckled Bird

Roy Carter - Guy Smith

© Songs Of Universal, BMI

What a beautiful thought I am thinking
Concerning the great speckled bird
Remember her name is recorded
On the pages of God's holy word

Desiring to lower her standards
They watch every move that she makes
They long to find fault with her teaching
But really they find no mistakes
[ guitar - steel ]
I am glad I have learned of her meekness
I'm proud that my name is in the book
For I want to be one never fearing
The face of my Saviour's true look

When he comes descending from heaven
On the cloud as he write in his word
I'll be joyfully carried to meet him
On the wings of that great speckled bird

Empty Mansion

C.A. Lutrell - J.B. Karnes

© National Music, BMI

There's a mansion now empty just waiting for me
At the end of life's travel someway
Many friends and dear loved ones will welcome me there
Near the door of that mansion someday

Here I labor and toil as I look for a home
Just a numble of gold among men
While in heaven a mansion is waiting for me
And the gentle voice pleading come in

There's a mansion now empty just waiting for me...
[ guitar ]
When my labor and toiling have ended below
And by hand shall I hold it in rest
I'll exchange this old home for a mansion up there
And invited up angel as guest

There's a mansion now empty just waiting for me...

Kneel At The Cross

Chas Moody

© Bridge Building Music, BMI

Kneel at the cross Christ will meet you there come while he waits for you
Listen to his voice leave within your care and begin life anew
Kneel at the cross leave every care kneel at the cross Jesus will meet you there
[ steel ]
Kneel at the cross there is room for all who would his glory share
Bless their way harm can never fall those who are anchored there
Kneel at the cross leave every care kneel at the cross Jesus will meet you there
[ guitar ]
Kneel at the cross give your idles up look onto rims above
Turn on the way to God's sparkling cup trust only in his love
Kneel at the cross leave every care kneel at the cross Jesus will meet you there

When I Take My Vacation In Heaven

Herbert Buffum - R.E. Winsett

© Universal MCA Music, ASCAP

There so many are taking vacations to the mountains and lakes and the sea
Where they rest from their cares and their worries
What a wonderful time that must be
But it seems not my luck to be like them I must toil through the heat and the cold
Seeking out the lost sheep on the mountains bringing wanderers back to the fold

When I take my vacation in heaven what a wonderful time that will be
Hearing concerts by the heavenly chorus and the face of my Saviour I'll see
Sitting down on the banks of the river neath the shade of the evergreen tree
I shall rest from my burdens forever won't you spend your vacation with me
[ steel ]
Now someday I shall take my vacation to the city John tells us about
With its foundation walk oh so precious with the gladness of heart I shall shout
All those sights ever witness by mortals can compare with the glory up there
I shall spend my vacation with Jesus in the place he went on to prepare

When I take my vacation in heaven what a wonderful time that will be...

Wait A Little Longer Please Jesus

Hazel Houser - Chester Smith

© Central Songs, BMI

Here the labor is so hard the workers are so tired
And our weary hearts are yearning for a rest
And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy land
Where we'll reseive such peace and happiness

But wait a little longer please Jesus
There are so many wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in
[ steel ]
We may look into the skies and the tears will fill our eyes
For our burdened heart grows heavier with each day
First we cry oh Lord please come come and take your children home
But then we look around us and we say

Oh wait a little longer please Jesus...
[ guitar ]
The family scattered here and there but Lord we love them dear
And maybe we can help them find a way
Then if waiting is the cost they say not might be lost
Lord that's the only reason why we say

Wait a little longer please Jesus...
Just a few more days to get our loved ones in

How Beautiful Heaven Must Be

A.P. Bland - A.S. Bridgewater

© Bridge Building Music, BMI

We read of a place that's called heaven
It's made for the pure and the free
These truethen God's words he had given
How beautiful heaven must be

How beautiful heaven must be
Sweet home of the happy and free
There heaven of rest for the weary
How beautiful heaven must be
[ steel ]
In heaven no drooping nor pining
No wishing for elsewhere to be
God's light it's forever there shining
How beautiful heaven must be

How beautiful heaven must be...
[ guitar ]
The angels so sweetly are singing
Up there by a beautiful sea
Sweet chords from their gold harps are ringing
How beautiful heaven must be

How beautiful heaven must be...

I'll Reap My Harvest In Heaven

Floyd Jenkins

I'll reap my harvest in heaven on that beautiful shore
I'll plow a field up in Glory and live in peace evermore
The world I lead to my neighbor till we meet up at heavenly door
I'll reap my harvest in heaven on that beautiful shore

The time has come to the part from this world and prove my heavenly word
My Maker told me to give all my crops to his children here on earth

I'll reap my harvest in heaven on that beautiful shore...
[ steel - guitar ]
The time has come I must hurry along don't cry for me when I'm gone
I'm going over that heavenly road that we all must travel on

I'll reap my harvest in heaven on that beautiful shore...

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

A.P. Carter

© Peer International, BMI

I was standing by my window on a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling for to carry my mother away

Will the circle be unbroken by and by Lord by and by
There's a better home awaiting in the sky Lord in the sky
[ guitar ]
Lord I told the undertaker undertaker please drive slow
For this body you are hauling Lord I hate to see her go

Will the circle be unbroken by and by Lord by and by...
[ steel ]
I will follow close behind her try to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow when they laid her in the grave

Will the circle be unbroken by and by Lord by and by...
