[E]
Life is like
[B] a [E] mountain railway, with [A] an engineer [E] so brave.
We must make this run successful, [F#] from the cradle [B] to the grave.
[E] Watch the [B] curbs that fill the tunnel, [A] never [F#m]
falter, [E] never fail.
Keep your hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail.
[A] Blessed Savior, [E] Thy will guide us, till we reach that [B] blissful shore,
[E] where the angels [A] wait to join us, [E] in Thy [B]
praise [E] forevermore.

you roll across the trestle, [A] spanning Jordan's [E] swelling tide,
you'll behold the Union Depot,
[F#] into which your train [B] will glide.
There [E] you'll meet
[B] the [E] superintendent, [A] God the Father, [E] God the Son.
With a hearty joyous plaudit, weary [B]
pilgrim, [E] welcome home.
[A] Blessed Savior, [E] Thy will guide us, till we reach that [B] blissful shore,
where [E] the angels wait [A] to join us, [E] in Thy
[B] praise
[E] forevermore.
