Lyrics
Life's Railway to Heaven
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Life is like a mountain railroad
With an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful
From the craddle to the grave
Watch the curves
The fills, the tunnels
Never falter, never quail
Keep your hands upon the throttle
And your eyes upon the trail
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 obstructions
Do your duty, never fail
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail
Chorus:
Blessed Saviour
Thou will guide us
Till we reach the other shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In thy great forevermore
As you roll across the trestle
Spanning Jordan's chilly 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 the hearty, joyous plaudit
"Weary pilgrim, welcome home"
Repeat Chorus
