LIFE'S RAILWAY TO HEAVEN

by: Charles D. Tillman

Listen to the tune

1. 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 fills, 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, till we reach that blissful shore;
Where the angels wait to join us in our praise forevermore.

2. 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.

CHORUS:

3. As you roll across the trestle, spanning Jordan's swelling tide,
You 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!"

CHORUS:
