Life's Railway To Heaven

(album: How Sweet The Sound: 25 Favorite Hymns And Gospel Greats - 2002)

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 for curves and hills and valleys
Never falter, never fail
And keep your hands upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail

Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us
Until we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore

As you roll across the trestle
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You behold the Union Depot
Into which your train will glide

And there you'll meet the Superintendent
God the Father, God the Son
With the hearty joyous greeting
'Weary pilgrim, welcome home'

Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us
Until we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore

Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us
Until we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore

So turn it on, turn it up
And sing along
