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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain
