Life is like a mountain railroad
With an engineer thats brave
We must make the run successful
From the cradle to the grave
Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels,
never falter, never quail
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail

CHORUS
Blessed saviour thou wilt guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In thy praise forever more

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

CHORUS
Blessed saviour thou wilt guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In thy praise forever more

You will often find obstruction
Look for storms of wind and rains
On a hill, or curve, or trestle,
they will almost ditch your train
Put you trust alone in Jesus
Never falter, never fail
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail

CHORUS
Blessed saviour thou wilt guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In thy praise forever more

As you roll upon the trestle
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
There you'll meet the superintendent
God the father, God he son
With the hearty , joyous, plaudit,
weary pilgrim, welcome home!
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail

CHORUS
Blessed saviour thou wilt guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In thy praise forever more
