RAILWAY TO THE HEAVEN

O what a deal we hear and read,

About railways and railway speed,

Of lines which are or may be made,

And selling shares is quite a trade.

Allow me as an old divine,

To point you to another line,

Which does from earth to heaven extend,

Where real pleasures never end.

Infinite Wisdom sketched the plan,

To save apostate ruined man,

And Jesus Christ, Jehovah's Son,

The mighty work Himself has done.

Of truth Divine the rails are made,

And on the "Rock of Ages" laid,

The rails are fixed in chairs of love,

Firm as the throne of God above.

At Calvary's cross it does commence,

And runs through all the world from thence,

Then crosses Jordan's swelling flood,

Before the royal throne of God.

Our grand first class is used for all,

For Jew and Gentile, great and small,

There's room for all the world inside,

And kings with beggars here do ride.

Do you, my reader, wish to know,

On what conditions you must go?

My child, says God, "give Me your heart",

Make haste - or else the train will start.
