        G                               C               G
Life is like a mountain railway with an engineer that's brave

        G                                  A              D7
We must make this run successful from the cradle to the grave

          G                                     C            G
Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels never falter never fail

                                              D7       G
Keep your hand upon the throttle and your eye upon the rail
[Chorus]
        C               G                                     D7
Blessed savior there to guide us till we reach that blissful shore

          G               C               G      D7      G    
Where the angels wait to join us in God's praise forever more

You will roll up grades of trial,  you will cross the bridge of life

                                           A                 D7
See that Christ is your conductor on this lightning train of life

        G                                C           G
Always mindful of obstruction,   do your duty never fail

Keep your hand upon the throttle and your eye upon the rail

As you roll across the trestle spanning Jordan's swelling tide

                                    A                    D7
You will reach the Union Depot into which the train will ride

There you'll meet the Superintendent, God the Father, God the Son
