Verse 1:
C
Life is like a mountain railway
        F               C
With an engineer that's brave
        C
We must make the run successful
         Dm     D      G
From the cradle to the grave

Verse 2:
         C
Heed the curves and watch the tunnels
      F             C
Never falter, never fail
          C
Keep your hand upon the throttle
         G            C
And your eye upon the rail

Chorus:
        F                 C
Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us
                            G
Till we reach that blissful shore
          C              F
Where the angels wait to join us
        C        G   C
In that train forevermore

Verse 3:
      C
As we roll along the mainline,
            F                      C
there'll be storms and there'll be night
            C
There'll be sidetracks unexpected
       F               G
on the left and on the right
             C
But with the straight always before us
        F               C
and our hearts upon the prize
            C
There'll be no disembarkation
      G            C
until we reach paradise

Chorus:
            F                 C
Oh, Blessed Savior, Thou will guide us
                            G
Till we reach that blissful shore
          C              F
Where the angels wait to join us
         C     G      C
In God's grace forevermore.
