Life is like a mountain railroad With an engineer that's brave We must make the run successful From the craddle to the grave Watch the curves The fills, the tunnels Never falter, never quail Keep your hands upon the throttle And your eyes upon the trail You will roll up grades of trial You will cross the bridge of strife See that Christ is your conductor On this light'ning train of life Always mindful of obstructions Do your duty, never fail Keep your hand upon the throttle And your eye upon the rail Chorus: Blessed Saviour Thou will guide us Till we reach the other shore Where the angels wait to join us In thy great forevermore As you roll across the trestle Spanning Jordan's chilly 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 the hearty, joyous plaudit "Weary pilgrim, welcome home" Repeat Chorus
