Life is like a mountain railroad
With an engineer that's brave
We must make the run successful

From the cradle to the grave

Watch the curves, the fills, and tunnels

Never falter, never fail
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eyes upon the rail


Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore

Where the angels wait to join us
In that great forevermore


As you roll across the trestle,
Spanning Jordon'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 greetings:

"Weary Pilgrims Welcome Home"
