Life is like a mountain railroad, with an engineer that’s
D E
brave. We must make the run successful, from the cradle
A D
to the grave. Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnel,
G D
never falter, never fail. Keep the hand upon the throttle,
A D
and your eye upon the rail.
G D
Blessed saviour, Thou will guide us, til we reach
A D
that blissful shore, where the angels wait to join us,
D A D
in Thy praise for ever more.
D G
You will roll up grades of trial, you will cross
D
the bridge of strife. See that Christ is your conductor
E A D
on the lightning train of life. Always mindful
G D
of obstruction, do your duty, never fail.
A D
Keep the hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail.

Blessed saviour, Thou will guide us, til we reach
A D
that blissful shore, where the angels wait to join us,
D A D
in Thy praise for ever more.
D G
You will often find obstructions, look for storms
D
of wind and rain. On a fill or curve or trestle,
E A D
they will almost ditch your train. Put your trust
G D
alone in Jesus, never falter, never fail.
A D
Keep the hand upon the throttle, and your eye upon the rail.

Blessed saviour, Thou will guide us, til we reach

D A D
in Thy praise for ever more.
D G
As you roll across the trestle, spanning Jordan’s swelling
D E
tide, you behold the union depot into which your train
A D
will glide; There you’ll meet the superintendent,
G D
God the Father, God the son, with the hearty
A D
joyous plaudit, weary pilgrim, welcome home.
G D
Blessed saviour, Thou will guide us, til we reach
