Life Is Like A Mountain Railway (Life's Railway To Heaven)
Life is like a mountain railroad
With an engineer so 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
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 across the trestle
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You behold the Union Depot
Into which your train will glide
There you'll meet the Superintendant
God the Father, God the Son
With a hearty joyous plaudit
Weary pilgrim, welcome home
Blessed Saviour, Thou wilt guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
Where the angels wait to join us
In Thy praise forever more
