| Life's Railway to Heaven |

| Life is like a mountain railway, |
| With an engineer that's brave. |
| We must make the run successful, |
| From the cra...dle to the grave. |
| Heed the curves, the hills, the tunnels, |
| Never falter, never fail. |
| Keep your hands upon the throttle, |
| And your eyes upon the rail |
| Blessed Saviour, Thou wilt guide us, |
| Til we reach that blissful shore, |
| Where the angels wait to join us, |
| In God's praise for evermore. |
| Solo(Banjo, Fiddle) |
| As we roll along the mainline, |
| There'll be storms and there'll be night. |
| There'll be sidetracks unexpected, |
| On the left and on the right. |
| But with the straight always before us, |
| And our hearts upon the prize, |
| There'll be no disembarakation, |
| Until we reach paradise. |
| Blessed Saviour, Thou wilt guide us, |
| Til we reach that blissful shore, |
| Where the angels wait to join us, |
| In God's praise for evermore. |
| Solo(Dobro, Mandolin) |
| Blessed Saviour, Thou wilt guide us, |
| Til we reach that blissful shore, |
| Where the angels wait to join us, |
| In God's praise for evermore. |
| In God's praise for…. Ever….more.... |
