Life's Railway to Heaven

Author: M. E. Abbey Appears in 90 hymnals First Line: Life is like a mountain railroad Refrain First Line: Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us Lyrics: 1 Life is like a mountain railroad, With an engineer that’s brave; We must make the run successful From the cradle to the grave; Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels, Never falter, never quail; Keep your hand upon the throttle, And your eye upon the rail. Refrain: Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us, Till we reach that blissful shore, Where the angels wait to join us In Thy praise forevermore. 2 You will roll up grades of trial, 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. [Refrain] 3 You will often find obstructions, Look for storms and 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 your hand upon the throttle, And your eye upon the rail. [Refrain] 4 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 Sup’rintendent, God the Father, God the Son, With a hearty, joyous plaudit, “Weary pilgrim, welcome home.” [Refrain] Topics: Hymns Used With Tune: [Life is like a mountain railroad]
