1 If when you give the best of your service,
Telling the world that the Saviour is come;
Be not dismayed when men don't believe you,
He understands; He'll say, "Well done."

Chorus:
Oh when I come to the end of my journey,
Weary of life and the battle is won;
Carrying the staff and the cross of redemption,
He'll understand and say, "Well done."

2 Misunderstood, the Saviour of sinners
Hung on the cross; He was God's only Son;
Oh! hear Him call His Father in heaven,
"Let not my will, but Thine be done." (Chorus)

3 If when this life of labor is ended,
And the reward of the race you have run;
Oh! take the sweet rest prepared for faithful,
Will be His blest and final, "Well done." (Chorus)

4 But if you try and fail in your trying,
Hands sore and scarred from the work you've begun;
Take up your cross, run quickly to meet Him,
He'll understand; He'll say, "Well done." (Chorus)
