Life is like a mountain railway
With an engineer so brave
We must make the run successful
From the cradle to the grave
Watch the curves the hills and tunnels
Never falter never fail
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail

Chorus:
Oh blessed Savior Thou wilt guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's grace forevermore

As you roll across the trestle
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You behold the Union Depot
Into which your train will glide
There you'll meet the superintendent
God, the Father, God, the Son
With a hearty joyous greeting
Weary pilgrim, welcome home

Chorus: 2X
