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.
2 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]
3 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. [Refrain]
4 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] Topics: Eternal Life Used With Tune: THE LAST MILE OF THE WAY
