Life is like a mountain railway

with an engineer that's brave 

 4   4    5   4   5  -5  6  6 
We must make the run successful 

  5   5  -5 -5   5  6   -5 
from the cradle to the grave 

  6   6     6    5   -5    6  -5   5 
Watch the curves the hills and tunnels 

 5  5  5 -5   5 -3   4 
Never falter never fail 

  4    4    5   4  5 -5    6   6 
Keep your hands upon the throttle 

 5   -5   6   5  -5 -5    5 
and your eyes up-on the rail 

Chorus: 

 -6  -6  -6 -6   5   -5    6    6     
Blessed Savior Thou wilt guide us 

  7   7   7     6   -5   5   -5 
Till we reach that blissful shore 

  6   -6   7   6   -5   5  -3   5    
Where the an-gels wait to join us, 

 5  -5    6   5 -5 -5   5  
in Thy praise forever more


You will roll up grades of trial
You will cross the bridge of strife
See that Christ is your conductor
On this lightning train of life
Always mindful of obstruction
Do you duty never fail
Keep your hands upon the throttle 
And your eyes upon the rail

Chorus

You will often find obstructions
Look for storms and wind and rain
On a fill or curve or trestle
They will almost ditch your train
Put your trust alone in Jesus
Never falter never fail
Keep your hands upon the throttle
And your eyes upon the rail

Chorus

As you roll across the trestle
Spanning 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 the hearty joyous plaudit
Weary pilgrim welcome home

Chorus
