Life's Railway To Heaven Lyrics & Chords

By M.E. Abbey, Charlie D. Tillman and Jesse Randall Baxter

(G)Life is like a mountain railroad, With an (C)engineer thats (G)brave;

We must make the run successful, From the (A)cradle to the (D)grave;

Watch the (G)curves, the fill, the tunnels; Never (C)falter, never (G)fail;

Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your (D)eye upon the (G)rail.



Chorus

(G)Blessed (C)Savior, Thou wilt (G)guide us ,

Till we reach that blissful (D)shore;

Where the (G)Angels wait to (C)join us;

In Thy (G)praise (D)forever(G)more.



You will roll up grades of trial; You will cross the bridge of strife;

See that Christ is your conductor On the 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.



You will often find obstruction; Look for storms of wind and rain;

On a fill, or curve, or trestle;They will almost ditch your train;

Put your trust alone in Jesus; Never falter, never fail;

Keep you hand upon the throttle; And you eye upon the rail.



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.
