Life's Railway to Heaven Lyrics

Merle Haggard

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.

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.

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."

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.

Solo

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.

In Thy・・・ praise

For ever more.
