Life's Railway to Heaven

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 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

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
