Railway to Heaven

(An old poem printed by request)

The line to heaven by Christ was made, With heavenly truths the rails are laid. From earth to heaven the line extends— To life eternal, where it ends. Repentance is the station where All passengers are given share.

No fee for them is there to pay, For Jesus is Himself the way. The Bible is the engineer. It points the way to heaven so clear. Through tunnels dark and dreary here, It does the way to glory steer.

God's love's the fire, His truth the steam Which drives the engine and the train. All you who would to glory ride, Must come to Christ, in Him abide, The first and second and third class, Repentance, faith, and holiness.

You must the way to glory gain, Or you with Christ can never reign. Come then, poor sinner! Now's the time. At any station on the line, If you repent, and turn from sin, The train will stop, and take you in.
