[Bb] [Eb]
Life is like a mountain railway With its [Ab]
engineer [Eb] that's grey
We must make the run successful From [F] the cradle to [Bb] the grave
Watch [Eb] the curve, the fills and trestles Never [Ab] fall, dear, never [Eb] fail
Keep your head upon the throttle And your [Cm] eyes
[Bb] upon [Eb] the rail
[Ab] Blessed Savior, that will [Eb] guide us Till we reach that [Bb] blissful shore
Where [Eb] the angels wait [Ab] to join us In [Eb] Thy
[Bb] praise [Eb] forevermore
[Ab]

As you roll across the trestle [Ab] Spanning Jordan's [Eb] swelling tides

Now there [Eb] you'll meet the Supreme Hinder
God [Ab] above and [Eb] the sun Well to welcome strangers
Where we pill [Bb] from welcome [Ebm] [Eb] home

In Thy praise [Bb] [Eb] forevermore
