LIFE'S RAILWAY TO HEAVEN

                          I

LIFE IS LIKE A MOUNTAIN RAIL ROAD, WITH AN ENGINEER THAT'S BRAVE.
WE MUST MAKE THE RUN SUCCESSFUL FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE.
WATCH THE CURVES THAT FILLS THE TUNNELS, NEVER FALTER NEVER QUAIL.
KEEP YOUR HAND UPON THE THROTTLE, AND YOUR EYE UPON THE RAIL.

                        II

YOU WILL ROLL UP GRADES OF TRIALS, YOU WILL CROSS THE BRIDGE OF STRIFE
SEE THAT CHRIST IS YOUR CONDUCTOR, ON THIS LIGHTNING TRAIN OF LIFE.
ALWAYS MINDFUL OF OBSTRUCTION, DO YOUR DUTY NEVER FAIL,
KEEP YOUR HAND UPON THE THROTTLE, AND YOUR EYE UPON THE RAIL.

                      III

YOU WILL OFTEN FIND HARD TRIALS, LOOK FOR STORMS OF WIND AND RAIN,
ON A FILL, OR A 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.

                       IV

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 A HEARTY JOYOUS PLAUDIT, WEARY PILGRIM WELCOME HOME.


                         CHORUS

BLESSED SAVIOUR THOU WILT GUIDE US, TILL WE REACH THAT BLISSFUL SHORE.

WHERE THE AN----------GELS WAIT TO JOIN US
           WHERE THE ANGELS

IN THY PRAISE               FOR EVER MORE.
           YES IN THY PRAISE
