Life’s Railway to Heaven

Life is like a mountain railroad, with an engineer so brave
We must make this run successful from the cradle to the grave
Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnel, never falter, never fail
Keep your hand 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 grace forevermore

As you roll across the trestle, spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You'll 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 grace forevermore

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