[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by JOdom</i> <br /><br />There's an old hymn that I only remember parts of. A couple of phrases from it are "Life is like a mountain railroad" and "Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail". The first phrase may be the title. Anyone else remember it, or any more information about it? <br />[/quote] <br />LIFE IS LIKE A MOUNTAIN RAILROAD <br /> <br />LIFE'S RAILWAY TO HEAVEN <br /> <br />Life is like a mountain railroad, with an engineer that’s brave; <br />We must make the run successful, from the cradle to the grave; <br />Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels; never falter, never quail; <br />Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail. <br /> <br />Bless'd Savior, Thou wilt guide us, <br />Till we reach that blissful shore; <br />Where the angels wait to join us <br />In Thy praise forevermore. <br /> <br />You will roll up grades of trial; you will cross the bridge of strife; <br />See that Christ is your Conductor on this lightning train of life; <br />Always mindful of obstruction, do your duty, never fail; <br />Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail. <br /> <br />Bless'd Savior, Thou wilt guide us, <br />Till we reach that blissful shore; <br />Where the angels wait to join us <br />In Thy praise forevermore. <br /> <br />You will often find obstructions; look for storms of wind and rain; <br />On a fill, or curve, or trestle, they will almost ditch your train; <br />Put your trust alone in Jesus; never falter, never fail; <br />Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail. <br /> <br />Bless'd Savior, Thou wilt guide us, <br />Till we reach that blissful shore; <br />Where the angels wait to join us <br />In Thy praise forevermore. <br /> <br />As you roll across the trestle, spanning Jordan’s swelling tide, <br />You behold the Union Depot into which your train will glide; <br />There you’ll meet the Superintendent, God the Father, God the Son, <br />With the hearty, joyous, plaudit, “Weary pilgrim, welcome home!” <br /> <br />Bless'd Savior, Thou wilt guide us, <br />Till we reach that blissful shore; <br />Where the angels wait to join us <br />In Thy praise forevermore. <br /> <br />I hope no one runs to Bergie because I mentioned Christ on this forum. <br /> <br />Jim <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
