If I walk in the pathway of duty,
If I work till the close of the day;
I shall see the
great King in His beauty,
When I’ve gone
the last mile of the way.
When I’ve gone
the last mile of the way,
I will rest at the close of the day,
And I know there
are joys that await me,
When I’ve gone
the last mile of the way.
If for Christ I proclaim
the glad story,
If I seek for His sheep gone astray,
I am sure He will show
me His glory,
When I’ve gone
the last mile of the way.
When I’ve gone
the last mile of the way,
I will rest at the close of the day,
And I know there
are joys that await me,
When I’ve gone
the last mile of the way.
Here the dearest of ties
we must sever,
Tears of sorrow are seen ev’ry day;
But no sickness, no sighing forever,
When I’ve gone
the last mile of the way.
When I’ve gone
the last mile of the way,
I will rest at the close of the day,
And I know there
are joys that await me,
When I’ve gone
the last mile of the way.
And if here I have earnestly striven,
And have tried all His will to obey,
’Twill enhance all
the rapture of Heaven,
When I’ve gone
the last mile of the way.
When I’ve gone
the last mile of the way,
I will rest at the close of the day,
And I know there
are joys that await me,
When I’ve gone
the last mile of the way.
