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.

CHORUS
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'm sure He will show me His glory,
When I've gone the last mile of the way.

CHORUS
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 every day;
But no sickness, no sighing forever,
When I've gone the last mile of the way.

CHORUS
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 earnest 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.

CHORUS
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.
