[Verse 1]
        G               G7
[tab]        C               G
With an engineer that's brave

        G
We must make this run successful

         A7            D     D7
From the cradle to the grave

         G                    G7
Heed the curves and watch the tunnels

      C             G
Never falter, never fail

          G
Keep your hand upon the throttle

         D7           G
And your eye upon the rail
[Chorus]
        C               G
Blessed savior there to guide us

                            D7
Till we reach that blissful shore

        G               C
And the angels there to join us

         G         D7  G
In God's grace for evermore
[Verse 2]
       G               G7
As you roll across the trestle

         C                 G
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide

         G
You will reach the union depot

     A7                   D    D7
Into which the train will ride

             G               G7
There you'll meet the superintendent

        C               G
God the father, God the son

       G
With a hand of joyous greeting

      D7               G
Weary pilgrim, welcome home
[Chorus]
        C               G
Blessed savior there to guide us

                            D7
Till we reach that blissful shore

        G               C
And the angels there to join us

         G         D7  G
In God's grace for evermore
