Life is like a mountain railroad With an engineer that's brave We must make the run successful From the cradle to the grave
Watch the curves, the fills, the 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 want to join us In that grace forevermore
As you roll across the trestle Spanning Jordon's swelling tide You'll 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 greetings 'Weary Pilgrims, Welcome Home'
Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us Till we reach that blessed shore Where the angels wait to join us In that grace forevermore In that grace forevermore
