The original lyrics for this Christian song (comparing Judgment Day and the Rapture to an airplane ride) date to the 1920s, and so Rutter arranges the song in the style of 1920s jazz. This arrangement has proved wildly popular among choral groups.
The Heavenly Aeroplane Lyrics
One of these nights about twelve o'clock
The old world's goin' to reel and rock;
The sinners gonna tremble and cry for pain
And the Lord will come in His aeroplane
Ho, ye weary of ev'ry tribe
Get your ticket for an aeroplane ride
Jesus the Savior is coming to reign
And take you up to glory in His aeroplane
Talk about your joyrides in automobiles
Of lightning speed on your motor wheels;
We'll break all records as up we'll fly
On an aeroplane joyride thru the sky
Ho, ye weary of ev'ry tribe
Get your ticket for an aeroplane ride
Jesus the Savior is coming to reign
And take you up to glory in His aeroplane
You'll have to get ready if you take this ride
Quit all your meanness and humble your pride;
You must furnish a light both bright and clean
And a vessel of oil to run the machine
Ho, ye weary of ev'ry tribe
Get your ticket for an aeroplane ride
Jesus the Savior is coming to reign
And take you up to glory in His aeroplane
When our journey's done and we all sit down
At the marriage feast, with a golden crown
We'll blend our voices with the ransomed throng
And praise our Savior as the years roll on
Ho, ye weary of ev'ry tribe
Get your ticket for an aeroplane ride
Jesus the Savior is coming to reign
And take you up to glory in His aeroplane
Yeah!
