THE GOSPEL TRAIN

The Gospel train's comin'
I hear it just at hand
I hear the car wheel rumblin'
And rollin' thro' the land

Get on board little children
Get on board little children
Get on board little children
There's room for many more

I hear the train a-comin'
She's comin' round the curve
She's loosened all her steam and brakes
And strainin' ev'ry nerve

The fare is cheap and all can go
The rich and poor are there
No second class aboard this train
No difference in the fare.

Lindisfarne 2

Incipit euangelium secundum iohannes : begins John’s gospel.

Explicit liber secundum iohannes : ends book accordin’to John.

Unfinished-looking gaelic knot design (see McBain’s authority.)

Very strange lettering (U + russian cross ?)

Lindisfarne 1

BL's ttp made its selection amongst the famous pages. I made my own.

Gospel men are depicted with their attributes (man, angel, bull, lion), named "imago".
Each is named "hagios" (saint, in greek) and painted writing with different stuff.
Matthew : book
marK : page
Luke : roll
John : roll (and no quill)
