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.
Heed the curves, the hills, the tunnels,
Never falter, never fail.
Keep your hands upon the throttle,
And your eyes 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.
