| 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 Thy praise 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 eyes upon the rail
|
| Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us
|
| Til we reach that blissful shore
|
| Where the angels wait to join us
|
| In Thy praise 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 Thy praise forevermore
|
| Where the angels wait to join us
|
| In Thy praise forevermore |
