Life's Railway to Heaven
Author: M E Abbey Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #555 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with refrain 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 upgrades 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: Eternal Life Languages: English Tune Title: LIFE'S RAILWAY

Nearer, My God, to Thee
Author: Sarah F Adams, 1805-1848 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #503 (1999) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Person Name: Sarah F Adams, 1805-1848 Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me.
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
2 Though like the wanderer,
The sun goes down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
3 There let the way appear,
Steps unto heaven;
All that Thou sendest me,
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
4 Then, with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
5 Or if, on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
AMEN. Topics: Assurance and Faith Languages: English Tune Title: BETHANY

When All Thy Mercies, O My God
Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #242 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts on my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
From whom those comforts flowed.
3 When worn with sickness, oft hast Thou
With health renewed my face:
And, when in sins and sorrow bowed,
Revived my soul with grace.
4 Thro' every period of my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue;
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.

O Be Joyful In the Lord, All Ye Lands (Jubilate Deo)
Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #731 (1999) Person Name: Henry Aldrich, 1647-1710 First Line: O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands Lyrics: 1 O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands;
serve the Lord with gladness,
and come before His presence with a song.

it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves:
we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
3 O go your way into His gates with thanksgiving,
and into His courts with praise:
be thankful unto Him, and speak good of His Name.
4 For the Lord is gracious; His mercy is everlasting:
and His truth endureth from generation to generation.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen. Topics: Ancient Canticles and Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: [O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands]

Once In Royal David's City
Author: Cecil F Alexander, 1823-1895 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #102 (1999) Person Name: Cecil F Alexander, 1823-1895 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed,
Where a mother laid her baby,
In a manger for His bed:
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little Child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall:
With the poor, and mean, and lowly
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And, thro' all His wondrous childhood,
He would honor and obey,
Love and watch the lowly maiden
In whose gentle arms He lay:
Christian children all must be
Mild, obedient, good as He.
4 But our eyes at last shall see Him
Through His own redeeming love;
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above:
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.
5 Not in that poor lowly stable,
With the oxen standing by,
Shall we see Him; but in heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high:
Then like stars His children crowned,
All in white shall wait around.
Amen. Topics: Advent and Nativity Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

Jesus Calls Us; O'er the Tumult
Author: Mrs Cecil F Alexander Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #484 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Person Name: Mrs Cecil F Alexander Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us over the tumult
Of our life's wild, restless sea,
Day by day His sweet voice soundeth,
Saying, "Christian, follow Me."
2 Jesus calls us, from the worship
Of the vain world's golden store,
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying "Christian, love Me more."
3 In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still He calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love Me more than these."
4 Jesus calls us; by Thy mercies,
Saviour, may we hear Thy call,
Give our hearts to Thy obedience,
Serve and love Thee best of all.

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Hymnal: AMEZ1996 #243 (1999) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Person Name: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest- home;
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
God, our Maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied:
Come to God's own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest-home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto His praise to yield;
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown:
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear:
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take His harvest home;
From His field shall in that day
All offenses purge away;
Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast;
But the fruitful ears to store
In His garner evermore.
4 Even so, Lord, quickly come,
Bring Thy final harvest home;
Gather Thou Thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There, for ever purified,
In Thy presence to abide:
Come, with all Thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest-home.
