Life Is Like a Mountain Railroad (Life's Railway to Heaven)

Author: M. E. Abbey Hymnal: AMEC1984 #366 (2011) Person Name: M. E. Abbey First Line: Life is like a mountain railroad Refrain First Line: Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us Lyrics: 1 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, the fills, the tunnels, Never falter, never quail; Keep your hand upon the throttle, And your eye upon the rail. 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: The Christian Life Hope and Aspiration; Conflict; Testimony Scripture: John 8:31 Languages: English Tune Title: LIFE'S RAILWAY

So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming, Here came the wise men from Orient land. The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger, In all our trials born to be our friend; [Refrain] 3 Truly He taught us to love one another; His law is love and His gospel is peace. Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother And in His name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, Let all within us praise His holy name!

What though no real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; Forever singing, as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine."
