There is a “railway” leads to God,
One grand main line, the price of blood.
’Twas built by love and sovereign grace,
To save a fallen human race.
The station’s near, the Master’s kind,
And no one need be left behind.
The porter too has cleared the way,
And “trains” are running night and day.
The passengers may book for heaven,
By faith in Christ, all sins forgiven.
The Lord Himself has paid the fare,
And takes the traveler safely there.
The Bible — guide to all who go,
Will tell you all you need to know,
Of dangers and of safety lights,
Of Christ, the Way, the Truth, the Life.
For all who take the “main line train,”
The heavenly land are sure to gain.
And myriads there in glory sing
The praise of Christ, the Lord and King.
No luggage may be taken there,
No sin or sorrow, cash or care.
And passengers rejoice to learn,
Just one way tickets — no return!
