Welcome, band of true toilers, who by thousands are found On the hundreds of railways and the stations around; There's a question concerning heaven's calling so bright: Are you happy in Jesus?

Can you say when on duty, either day time or night, I am happy in Jesus, and the "signals are right?" [Chorus] 3. With a love for Christ's service, and your soul well supplied, With inspired directions fully tested and tried; With the Points set for glory, with the metals all tight, Are you happy in Jesus, with the "signals all right?" [Chorus] 3. And at last when your journeys up and down shall be done, And life's train shall in triumph to the terminus come; Will you sins as you're nearing heaven's stores of delight, Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! all the "signals are right?" Chorus: With a clear shining light, yes, my lamp's burning bright, I am happy in Jesus, with the signals all right.
