Life is like a mountain railroad with an engineer so brave
We must make this 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 eye upon the rail
Oh, blessed Savior, thou wilt guide us
Til we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's grace forever more
As you roll across the trestle apanning 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 a hearty, joyous greeting weary pilgrim, welcome home
* Refrain
Another 2nd virse
As you roll across the trestle spanning Jordan's swelling tide
Just keep Chirist as your conductor on this railroad train of life
Always mindful of obstructions, do your duty, never fail
Just keep your hand upon the throttle and your eve upon the rail
