Life’s Railway to Heaven.

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 that Jill the tunnels. Never falter, never fail, Keep your hand upon the throttle. And your eye upon the rail. CHORUS Blessed Savior thou wilt guide us Till we reach the blissful shore, Where the angels wait to join us In thy praise forever more. You will roll up grades of trial, Yon will cross the bridge of strife; See that Christ is your conductor On this lightning train of life. Always mindful of obstructions, Do your duty, never fail, Keep your hand upon the throttle. And your eye upon the rail. You will often find obstructions; Look for storms of wind and rain; On a fill or curve or trestle. They will almost ditch your train. Put your trust alone in Jesus, Never faller, never fail. Keep your hand upon the throttle, And your eye upon the rail. As you roll across the trestle. Spanning Jordan’s swelling tide, Yo n behold the union depot Into which your train will glide. There you'll meet the Superintendent, God the Father, Christ the Son, With the hearty, joyous plaudits Weary pilgrim, welcome home. Author Unknown.
