  Life is like a mountain railway
  With an engineer that’s brave
  We must make this run successful
  From the cradle to the grave

  Watch the curves, the fills, and tunnels
  Never falter, never fail
  Keep your hand upon the throttle
  And your eyes upon the rail

  Blessed savior, thou will guide us
  Till we reach that blissful shore
  Where the angels wait to join us
  In that great forevermore

  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

  Blessed savior, thou will guide us
  Till we reach that blissful shore
  Where the angels wait to join us
  In that great 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 the hearty, joyous, plaudit, “Weary pilgrim, welcome home!”

  Blessed savior, thou will guide us
  Till we reach that blissful shore
  Where the angels wait to join us
  In that great forevermore

  Where the angels wait to join us
  In that great forevermore
