Örömhír-Expressz

Author: Johnson Oatman, Jr.; Anna Piroska Williams Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Gyorsvonat indul ingyen és bérmentv Lyrics: 1 Gyorsvonat indul ingyen és bérmentve, Innen, ahol minden kátyúba fúl, A beszállás a keresztnél megjelölve! Még ma szállj be, hogy mennybe indulj! Már fütyül a vonat! Mindjárt indulás! Gyorsan szállj be, mert még lemaradsz! Ha Jézusban hiszel, szabad a beszállás! Másként a mennyből majd kimaradsz! 2 Suhan szép csendben, nem kormol-zakatol, Mert a hajtóereje szeretet! Útikalauzunk szól a Bibliából, Ott merít minden utas hitet. Már fütyül a vonat! Mindjárt indulás! Gyorsan szállj be, mert még lemaradsz! Ha Jézusban hiszel, szabad a beszállás! Másként a mennyből majd kimaradsz! 3 Jöhetsz ám Te is! Azt hiszed, jegyed nincs? Az Úr Jézus régen váltott neked! Vérével fizetett, mert az értékes kincs! Benne higgy, s Te is kaphatsz egyet! Halld, fütyül a vonat! Itt az indulás! Gyorsan szállj be, mert még lemaradsz! Ha Jézusban hiszel, szabad a beszállás! Másként a mennyből majd kimaradsz! 4 Szállj be hát Te is, ne legyen kifogás! Kárhozattól védve csak így lehetsz! Látod, ez örök biztonság, olyan áldás, Mit Isten nélkül nem remélhetsz! Halld, fütyül a vonat! Itt az indulás! Gyorsan szállj be, mert még lemaradsz! Ha Jézusban hiszel, szabad a beszállás! Másként a mennyből majd kimaradsz! 5 Beszállás csak itt: Úr Jézusban a hit, Tudod-e, hogy mi a célállomás? Isten Lelke vezet, és Ő vigyáz rád itt! Mennyben vár boldog fogadtatás! Mert fütyül a vonat: egyszer meghallod— És majd jön végre a kiszállás! Felhangzik a boldogító Isten hozott! Fütyül a vonat: végállomás! Used With Tune: [Gyorsvonat indul ingyen és bérmentv]

Johnson Oatman, Jr.

1856 - 1922 Person Name: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Author of "The Gospel Train" in Light in the Valley Johnson Oatman, Jr., son of Johnson and Rachel Ann Oatman, was born near Medford, N. J., April 21, 1856. His father was an excellent singer, and it always delighted the son to sit by his side and hear him sing the songs of the church. Outside of the usual time spent in the public schools, Mr. Oatman received his education at Herbert's Academy, Princetown, N. J., and the New Jersey Collegiate Institute, Bordentown, N. J. At the age of nineteen he joined the M.E. Church, and a few years later he was granted a license to preach the Gospel, and still later he was regularly ordained by Bishop Merrill. However, Mr. Oatman only serves as a local preacher. For many years he was engaged with his father in the mercantile business at Lumberton, N. J., under the firm name of Johnson Oatman & Son. Since the death of his father, he has for the past fifteen years been in the life insurance business, having charge of the business of one of the great companies in Mt. Holly, N. J., where he resides. He has written over three thousand hymns, and no gospel song book is considered as being complete unless it contains some of his hymns. In 1878 he married Wilhelmina Reid, of Lumberton, N.J. and had three children, Rachel, Miriam, and Percy. Excerpted from Biography of Gospel Song and Hymn Writers by Jacob Henry Hall; Fleming H. Revell, Co. 1914
