I have no idea about a tune, but I could not find it's apparent inspiration in a forum search. THE ROYAL TELEPHONE Central's never "busy," always on the line; You may hear from heaven almost any time; 'Tis a royal service, free for one and all; When you get in trouble, give this royal line a call. Refrain Telephone to glory, O what joy divine! I can feel the current moving on the line, Built by God the Father for His loved and own, We may talk to Jesus thru this royal telephone. 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. Refrain 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 your answer thru this royal telephone. Refrain 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 the Pentecostal fire. Refrain 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. Refrain Words & Music: Frederick M. Lehman, 1919 Music at: Cyberhymnal @religion
