Psalm 48:14 For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
Believers are encouraged, knowing that no matter how bleak a situation we find ourselves in, the Lord never leaves us.
With loving kindness He comforts us and leads us through it.
God is good.
Life’s Railway to Heaven
____________________________
Life is like a mountain railway, — With an engineer that’s brave; — We must make the run successful, — From the cradle to the grave; — Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels; — Never falter, never fail; — Keep your hands upon the throttle, — And your eyes upon the rail.
CHORUS:
Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us, — Till we reach that blissful shore, — Where the angels wait to join us — In Thy praise forevermore.
You will roll up grades of trial; — You will cross the bridge of strife; — See that Christ is your conductor — On this lightning train of life; — Always mindful of obstruction, — Do your duty, never fail; — Keep your hands upon the throttle, — And your eyes upon the rail.
You will often find obstructions, — Look for storms and wind and rain; — On a fill, or curve, or trestle — They will almost ditch your train; — Put your trust alone in Jesus, — Never falter, never fail; — Keep your hands upon the throttle, — And your eyes upon the rail.
As you roll across the trestle, — Spanning Jordan’s swelling tide, — You behold the Union Depot — Into which your train will glide; — There you’ll meet the Sup’rintendent, — God the Father, God the Son, — With the hearty, joyous plaudit, — “Weary Pilgrim, welcome home.”
M. E. Abbey. 1890
