Refrain: Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us, Till we reach the 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 the hearty, joyous plaudit, “Weary pilgrim, welcome home.” [Refrain] Topics: Everlasting Life; Christian Pilgrimage Scripture: Hebrews 12:1 Used With Tune: LIFE'S RAILWAY
