[1] Life is like a [5] mountain [1] railway with an [4] engineer so [1] brave
We must make this run successful from the [2maj] cradle to the [5] grave
Watch the [1] curves that [5] fills the [1] tunnels never [4] falter never [1] fail
Keep your hand upon the throttle and your eye [5] upon the [1] rail

Blessed [4] Savior that will [1] guide us 'til we reach that blissful [5] shore
Where the [1] angels wait to [4] join us In God's [1] grace [5] forever [1] more

As she rolled across the trestle spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You'll behold the union depot into which your train will glide
There you'll meet the superintendent God the father God the son
With a hearty joyous plaudit weary pilgrim welcome home
