Life's Railway To Heaven Lyrics - Jean Shepard

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 that fills the tunnels never falter never quail 

Keep your hand upon the throttle and your eye upon the rail 

Blessed Savior Thou wilt guide us till we reach that blissful shore 

Where the angels wait to join us in God's praise forevermore 

[ ac.guitar ] 

As you roll across the trestle spanning Jordan's swelling tide 

You behold the Union Depot into which your train will glide 

There'll you meet the superintendent God the father God the son 

With the hearty joyous plaudit weary pilgrim welcome home 

Blessed Savior Thou wilt guide us...
