Lyrics Life's Railway to Heaven - Bill Monroe

Life is like a mountain railroad
With an engineer so brave
We must make this run successful
From the cradle to the grave

Watch the curves that fill the tunnels
Never falter, never quail
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eyes upon the rail

Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us
'Til we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In Thy praise forevermore

As you roll across the trestle
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You'll behold the union depot
Into which your train will glide

There you'll meet the Superintendent
God the Father, God the Son
With the hearty, joyous plaudit
"Weary pilgrims, welcome home"

Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us
'Til we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In Thy praise forevermore
