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 the curves the hills, the tunnels
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 Thy 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 extended hand he’ll greet you, Weary pilgrim, welcome home

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