Thevivid illustrations and snappy text in This Train Is Bound for Glory bring the Glory Train to life as it welcomes singing passengers. The excitement is palpable as the train clicks and clacks through scenic deserts, over lush mountains, and across sparkling bridges. Under the guidance of the watchful Conductor, the heaven-bound train bops and bouncesfrom Earth to the stars until it reaches the pearly gates, where passengers dance with thrilling joy.

This train is bound for Glory-this train! This train is bound for Glory-this train! This train is bound for Glory. Everybody here is a-rocking and a-rolling. This train is bound for Glory-this train!
