Life Is Like A Mountain Rail
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
We must make the run successful
From the cradle to the grave
Heed the curves and watch the tunnels
Never falter, never fail
Keep your hands upon the throttle
And your eye upon the rail
Blessed Saviour there to guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
And the angels there to join us
In God's grace forevermore
As you roll across the trestle
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide
You will reach the Union Depot
Into which your train will ride
There you'll meet the superintendent
God the father, God the son
With a happy joyous greeting
Weary pilgrim, welcome home
Blessed Saviour there to guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore
And the angels there to join us
In God's grace forevermore
In God's grace forevermore
