Life’s Airline to Heaven

Life is like a soar­ing air­craft

Be a pil­ot strong and brave;

We must make the flight suc­cess­ful

From the cra­dle to the grave;

Watch the clouds

the hills

the tow­ers;

Never fal­ter

al­ways spry;

Keep your hand upon the steer­ing

And your eye up­on the sky.

Blessèd Sav­ior

Thou wilt guide us

Till we reach that bliss­ful shore;

Where the an­gels wait to join us

In Thy praise for­ev­er­more.

You will fly o’er grades of tri­al;

You will cross the winds of strife;

See that Christ is your in­struct­or

On this light­ning flight of life;

Always mind­ful of ob­struct­ions

Do your du­ties ev­er nigh;

Keep your feet upon the pe­dals

And your eye up­on the sky.

You will oft­en find ob­struct­ions;

Look for storms and wind and rain;

Look for icy fog and twist­ers

They will try to crash your plane;

Put your trust alone in Je­sus;

Never fal­ter

nev­er shy;

Keep your fo­cus on the fly­ing

And your eye up­on the sky.

As you fly across the can­yon

Soaring o’er the chasm wide

Then you’ll see the des­ti­na­tion

Into which your plane will glide;

There you’ll meet the mas­ter pi­lots

God the Fa­ther

God the Son

With the hearty

joy­ous

plau­dit

Weary pi­lot

wel­come home!
