Life’s Railway

You are tra­vel­ing on a rail­way

Winding through this maze of life

Climbing up the hills of tri­al

Into vales of sin and strife;

But there’s one who knows the jour­ney

He can sure­ly take you through;

Jesus knows the way to glo­ry

He will safe­ly car­ry you.

Jesus

Sav­ior

bless­èd Keep­er

Guide us on to Heav’n ab­ove;

Where the saints through­out the ag­es

Will unite in songs of love.

Curves will meet you as you jour­ney

You will meet with wrecks of time;

You will cross the bridge of sad­ness

You will reach some heights sub­lime.

Never fear

for Christ is with you

And He knows the way so plain;

Keep your eye on your dear Sav­ior

He will ban­ish fear and pain.

Wind and rain some days will hin­der

Skies will dark­en

sick­ness come;

You will want to tra­vel free­ly

To a friend or heav’n­ly home;

Put your trust in Christ the Sav­ior

Well He knows this line and rail;

He will nev­er leave you lone­ly

For His love will nev­er fail.

You will cross the bridge of mer­cy

And the riv­er of de­light

You will climb the hills su­per­nal

You shall gain the hills of light;

Soon the home so free­ly giv­en

Will be seen on glo­ry’s shore;

You have reached the heav’n­ly sta­tion

Ne’er to leave for­ev­er­more.
