Life's Railway To Heaven lyrics
Song information
Artist: Merle Haggard Album: The Land Of Many Churches
Lyrics
Life is like a mountain railway With an engineer that's brave We must make the right connections From the cradle to the grave Watch the curves, the fill, the tunnels Never falter, never quail Keep your hand upon the throttle And your eyes upon the rail
Refrain: Blessed saviour Thou wilt guide us Till we reach That blissful shore Where the angels Wait to join us In thy praise For ever more
You will roll up grades of trial You will cross the bridge of strife See that christ is your conductor Of this lightning train of life Always mindful of obstuctions Do your duty, never fail Keep your hand upon the throttle And your eyes upon the rail
Refrain
You will often find obstructions 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 your hand upon the throttle And your eyes upon the rail
Refrain
As you roll across the trestle Spanning jordan's swelling tide You behold the union depot Into which your train will drive There you'll meet the superintendent God the father, god the son With the hearty, joyus plaudit "Weary pilgrims, welcome home."
