Retro Lyrics

 

LIFE'S RAILWAY TO HEAVEN

 

Life is like a mountain railroad

With an engineer so brave

We must make the run successful

From the cradle to the grave

Watch the curves the hills and tunnels

Never falter never fail

Keep your hand upon the throttle

And your eye upon the rail

 

Blessed Savior watch and guide us

'Til we reach that blissful shore

Where the angels wait to join us

In God's grace forever more

 

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 a hearty joyous greeting

Weary pilgrim welcome home
