Life's Railway To Heaven

  • Life is like a mountain railway
    With an engineer that's brave
    We must make the run successful
    From the cradle to the grave
    Watch for curves and hills and valleys
    Never falter never fail
    keep your hands upon the throttle
    And your eye upon the rail

    Blessed Savior,
    Thou wilt guide us
    Till we reach that blissful shore
    Where the angels wait to join us
    In God's praise forevermore

    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 a hearty joyous greeting
    Weary pilgrim, welcome home

    Blessed Savior,
    Thou wilt guide us
    Till we reach that blissful shore
    Where the angels wait to join us
    In God's praise forevermore

    Blessed Savior,
    Thou wilt guide us
    Till we reach that blissful shore
    Where the angels wait to join us
    In God's praise forevermore
    Where the angels wait to join us
    In God's praise forevermore

    So turn it on, turn it up
    And sing along Writer/s: CHARLIE D. D. TILLMAN, J. R. BAXTER, M. E. ABBEY
