(M.E. Abbey - Charlie Tillman - J.R. Baxter)

Life is like a mountain railroad
With an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful
From the cradle to the grave.

Watch the curves that fills the tunnels
Never falter never quail
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail.

Blessed Savior Thou wilt guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore.

--- Instrumental ---

As you roll across the trestle
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You behold the Union Depot
Into which your train will glide.

There'll you meet the superintendent
God the father, God the son
With the hearty joyous plaudit
Weary pilgrim welcome home.

Blessed Savior Thou wilt guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In God's praise forevermore...
