[A] [D]
Life is like a mountain railroad with [G] an engineer [D] that's brave.
We must make the run successful from [E] the cradle to the [A] grave.
Watch [D] the curve, the fields, the tunnels, [Am]
never [G] falter, never [D] fail.
Keep your hand upon the throttle and your [A] eyes upon [D] the rail.
Blessed [G] Savior, Thou [D] wilt guide us till we reach that [A] blessed shore
where the [D] angels want [G] to join us in [D] that [E] praise [D] forevermore.
As you row across the trestle spanning [G] Jordan's swelling [D] tide,
you'll behold the Union Depot into [E] which your train [A] will glide.
There [D] you'll meet the superintendent, God [G] the Father, God [D] the Son,
with a hearty, joyous greeting, weary pilgrims, welcome home.
Blessed [G] Savior, Thou wilt guide us till we reach [A] that blessed shore
where [D] the angels wait [G] to join us in [D] that [A] praise forevermore.
