Life's Railway to Heaven Lyrics
Life's Railway to Heaven - George Beverly Shea
Life is like a mountain railway
With an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful
From the cradle to the grave
Watch the tunnels and heed the curves
Never falter never fail
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail
Blessed Savior thou will guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In that train forever more
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
Oh Blessed Savior thou will guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In the grace forever more
Life is like a mountain railroad
