[Verse 1] Life is like a mountain railway

With an engineer that's brave

We must make this run successful

From the cradle to the grave

Heed the curves and watch the tunnels

Never falter, never fail.

Keep your hand upon the throttle

And your eye upon the rail

[Chorus]: Blessed savior there to guide us

'Til we reach that blissful shore

And the angels there to join us

in God's grace for evermore

[Verse 2]: You will roll up grades of trial,

You will cross the bridge of strife

See that Christ is your conductor

On this lightning train of life

Always mindful of obstruction,

Do your duty never fail

Keep your hand upon the throttle

And your eye upon the rail

[Chorus]: Blessed savior there to guide us

'Til we reach that blissful shore

And the angels there to join us

in God's grace for evermore

[Verse 3]: As you roll across the trestle

Spanning Jordan's swelling tide

You will reach the Union Station

Into which your train will ride

There you'll meet the Superintendant

God the Father, God the Son

With a happy, joyous greeting

"Weary pilgrim, welcome home."

[Chorus]: Blessed savior there to guide us

'Til we reach that blissful shore

And the angels there to join us

in God's grace for evermore
