Life's Railway To Heaven
Traditional
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 fills, the tunnels - Never falter, never quail
Keep your hand upon the throttle -And your eye upon the rail.

CHORUS:
Blessed Saviour, Thou wilt guide us
Till me reach that blissful shore.
When the angels wait to join us
In thy praise for evermore.

You will roll up grades of trial - You can 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 you eye upon the rail

Chorus

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.

Chorus
