Life's Railway To Heaven

Life is like a mountain railroad, with an engineer that’s brave;
We must make the run successful, from the cradle to the grave;
Watch the curves, the hills, the tunnels; never falter, never fail;
Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail.

Blessed Saviour, Thou wilt guide us,
'Til we reach that blissful shore,
Where the angels wait to join us,
In God's praise for evermore.

You will roll up grades of trial; you will cross the bridge of strife;
See that Christ is your Conductor on this lightning train of life;
Always mindful of obstruction, do your duty, never fail;
Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail.

Blessed Saviour, Thou wilt guide us,
'Til we reach that blissful shore,
Where the angels wait to join us,
In God's praise for evermore.

You will often find obstructions; look for storms of wind and rain;
On a hill, or curve, or trestle, they will almost ditch your train;
Put your trust alone in Jesus; never falter, never fail;
Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail.

Blessed Saviour, Thou wilt guide us,
'Til we reach that blissful shore,
Where the angels wait to join us,
In God's praise for evermore.

As we roll along the mainline, there'll be storms and there'll be night;
There'll be sidetracks unexpected, on the left and on the right;
But with the straight always before us, and our hearts upon the prize;
There'll be no disembarakation, until we reach paradise.

Blessed Saviour, Thou wilt guide us,
'Til we reach that blissful shore,
Where the angels wait to join us,
In God's praise for evermore.

As you roll across the trestle, spanning Jordan’s swelling tide,
You behold the Union Depot into which your train will glide;
There you’ll meet the Superintendent, God the Father, God the Son,
With the hearty, joyous, plaudit, “Weary pilgrim, welcome home!”

Blessed Saviour, Thou wilt guide us,
'Til we reach that blissful shore,
Where the angels wait to join us,
In God's praise for evermore.
