Whate’er my afflictions or trials may be,
I want to live faithful, my Savior, to Thee,
To walk as a Christian, my temper subdued,
And feel, through Thy mercy, in spirit renewed.

We are drifting towards the waters
Of a calm and tranquil sea,
And we soon shall anchor safely
In that port where we should be.

We are nearing, we are nearing,
Nearing the golden strand;

Nearing the soul’s bright land.
We are drifting …

O unconverted soul.
Dost thou not fear the troubled waves
That o’er thee soon may roll?

Life’s Railway To Heaven
Life is like a mountain railroad,
With an engineer that’s brave;
We must make the run successful,
From the cradle to the grave;
Watch the curves, the hills, the tunnels;
Never falter, never quail;

Saving my soul, making me whole,
Though I had wandered away.
Into the will of Jesus,

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me….
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
