The Gospel Train

Grade Level 1

Year: 2024

Composer: American Spiritual, arr. Gavin Whitehouse 

Program Notes:

This fun arrangement is based on the traditional African-American Spiritual of the same name. The song is an invitation for all to join in the experience of salvation in Christ, as can be seen in this first verse: 

The gospel train is coming, 

I hear it just at hand. 

I hear the car wheels moving 

And rumbling thro' the land. 

Get on board, little children, 

For there's room for many a more!
