Chapter 51

THE SPIRITUAL RAILWAY.

“Theline to heaven by Christ was made;With heavenly truths the rails are laid;From earth to heaven the line extends;To life eternal—there it ends.“Repentance is the station then,Where passengers are taken in;No fees for them are there to pay,ForJesusis 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—the fire, His truth the steamWhich drives the engine and the train;All you who would to glory ride,Must come to Christ—in Him abide.“In the first, 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 sinners, now’s the time,At any place along the line;If you repent and turn from sin,The train will stop and take you in.”
