Are the Signals All Right?
Author: Samuel Peach Hymnal: The Gospel Awakening #19 (1888) First Line: Welcome, band of true toilers, who by thousands are found Refrain First Line: With a clear shining light, is your lamp burning bright? Lyrics: 1. 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? "Are the signals all right?"
Chorus:
With a clear shining light, is your lamp burning bright?
Have you oil in your vessels? Are the signals all right?
2. By the red lights of danger have you left the down line?
By the green lights of caution have you knowledge divine?
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. Tune Title: [Welcome, band of true toilers]

W. E. Penn
1832 - 1895 Person Name: William Evander Penn Composer of "[Welcome, band of true toilers]" in The Cyber Hymnal Penn, William Evander. (Near village of Old Jefferson, Rutherford County, Tennessee, August 11, 1832--April 29, 1895, Eureka Springs, Arkansas). Southern Baptist. Evangelist in Texas and other states, 1875-1895. Compiled three hymnals titled Harvest Bells (1881, 1884, 1887) for use in his meetings. His hymns were primarily revivalistic in emphasis. His finest hymn, "There is a rock in a weary land, Its shadow falls on the burning sand" was paid the compliment of being reworked and issued under the name of Edward Husband in D.B. Towner's Revival Hymns (Chicago, 1905).
He and his wife Corilla Frances Sayle adopted three children. Ordained December 4, 1880.
