Verse 1

A
Central's never busy
E7
Always on the line
You may hear from Heaven
           A
Almost any time
'Tis a royal service
                 D
Free for one and all
                A
When you get in trouble
          E7           A
Give this royal line a call

Chorus

A
Telephone to glory
E7
Oh what joy divine
I can feel the current
              A
Moving on the line
Built by God the Father
                  D
For his loved and own
               A
We may talk to Jesus
             E7        A
Through this royal telephone

Verse 2

There will be no charges
Telephone is free
It was built for service
Just for you and me
There will be no waiting
On this royal line
Telephone to glory
Always answers just in time

Verse 3

Fail to get the answer
Satan's crossed your wire
By some strong delusion
Or some base desire
Take away obstructions
God is on the throne
And you'll get an answer
Through this royal telephone

Verse 4

If your line is grounded
And connection true
Has been lost with Jesus
Tell you what to do
Prayer and faith and promise
Mend the broken wire
Till your soul is burning
With Pentecostal fire

Verse 5

Carnal combinations
Cannot get control
Of this line to glory
Anchored in the soul
Storm and trial cannot
Disconnect the line
Held in constant keeping
By the Father's hand divine
