The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Life is like a mountain railway
With an engineer that's brave
You must make a run successful
From the cradle to the grave
Watch the curves, the hills and tunnels
Never falter, never fail
Just 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 Thy praise forevermore
Life is like a mountain railway
With an engineer that's brave
You must make a run successful
From the cradle to the grave
Watch the curves, the hills and tunnels
Never falter, never fail
Just 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 Thy praise forevermore
You will cross the bridge of tidings
Spanning Jordan swelling high
Just keep Christ as your conductor
On this ligtning train of life
Always mindful of obstructions
Do your duty, never fail
Just 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 Thy praise forevermore
