Life's Railway to Heaven

G C G
1.Life is like a moun-tain rail-road, with an en-gi-neer that's brave;
A7 D
We must make the run suc-cess-ful from the cra-dle to the grave;
G C G
Watch the curves, the fills, the tun-nels, nev-er fal-ter, nev-er quail;
D7 G
Keep your hand up-on the throt-tle and your eye up-on the rail.

G C G
2.You roll up grades of tri-al, you will cross the bridge of strife;
A7 D
See that Christ is your con-duc-tor on this light-ning train of life
G C G
Al-ways mind-ful of ob-struc-tion, do your du-ty, nev-er fail;
D7 G
Keep your hand up-on the throt-tle and your eye up-on the rail.

G C G
3.You will oft-en find ob-struc-tions, look for storms and wind and rain;
A7 D
On a fill or curve or tres-tle they will al-most ditch your train;
G C G
Put your trust a-lone in Je-sus, Nev-er fal-ter, nev-er fail;
D7 G
Keep your hand up-on the throt-tle and your eye up-on the rail.

G C G
4.As you roll a-cross the tres-tle span-ning Jor-dan's swell-ing tide,
A7 D
You be-hold the un-ion de-pot in-to which your train will glide;
G C G
There you'll meet the Su-p'rin-tend-ent, God the Father, God the Son;
D7 G
With the heart-y, joy-ous pluad-it, “Wea-ry pil-grim, wel-come home!”
