[Intro] G [Verse 1]
        G                               C               G
Life is like a mountain railway with an engineer that's brave

        G                                A7            D
We must make the run successful from the cradle to the grave

         G                                     C             G
Heed the curves, the hills, the tunnels, never falter, never fail

          G                                   D7       G
Keep your hand upon the throttle and your eye upon the rail
[Chorus]
        C                  G
Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us

        G          A7       D
Till we reach that blissful shore

          G              C                G         D7  G
Where the angels wait to join us in God's praise forevermore
[Verse 2]
G                                                C                      G
Well, as we roll along the mainline, there'll be storms and there'll be night

            G                            A7              D
There'll be sidetracks unexpected on the left and on the right

             G                                 C               G
But with the straight always before us and our hearts upon the prize

            G                          D7        G
There'll be no disembarkation until we reach paradise
[Chorus]
        C                 G
Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us

        G          A7       D
Till we reach that blissful shore

          G              C                G    D7      G
Where the angels wait to join us in God's great forevermore
