Country as "cornbread" but this is GOOD!

One of the great country/gospel songs from my childhood tells us of our journey through life. Not even sure who wrote, "Life is Like a Mountain Railroad"--but it surely speaks to all of us.
Let it speak to you:
_____________________________
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 hills, the tunnels;
Never falter, never quail;
Keep your hand upon the throttle,
And your eye upon the rail.

Chorus:

Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us,
Til we reach that blissful shore;
Where the angels wait to join us
In Thy praise for evermore.

You will roll up grades of trial;
You will cross the bridge of strife;
See that Christ is your conductor;
On this light'ning train of life;
Always mindful of obstruction,
Do your duty, never fail;
Keep your hand upon the throttle,
and your eye upon the rail.

You will often find obstruction;
Look for storms of wind and rain;
On a hill, or curve, or trestle;
They will almost ditch your train.
Put your trust alone in Jesus;
Never falter, never fail;
Keep your hand upon the throttle,
and your eye upon the rail.

As you roll across the trestle,
Spanning Jordan's swelling tide.
You behold the Union depot
Into which your train will glide.
There you'll meet the Superintendent,
God the Father, God the Son
With the hearty, joyous plaudit,
"Weary pilgrim, welcome Home!"

Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us
Till we reach that blissful shore!
Where the angels wait to join us
In Thy praise forevermore!

Amen, amen, amen!
