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, the hills, the tunnels
Never falter, never quail
Keep your hand upon the throttle,
And your eye upon the rail.

Chorus:
Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us,
Til we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In thy praise for evermore.

You will roll up grades of trial
You will cross the bridge of strife
See that Christ is your conductor
On this light'ning train of life
Always mindful of obstruction,
Do your duty, never fail
Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail.

You will often find obstruction
Look for storms of wind and rain
On a hill, or curve, or trestle.
They will almost ditch your train
Put your trust alone in Jesus
Never falter, 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.
You behold the Union depot
Into which your train will guide.
There you'll meet the Superintendent,
God the father, God the son
With the hearty, joyous plaudit,
"Weary pilgrim, welcome Home!"
