Telling the world that the Savior is come;
Be not dismayed when men don't believe you;
He understands; he'll say, "Well done."
Refrain:
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 Savior of sinners,
Hung on the cross; he was God's only Son;
Oh! hear him calling his Father in heav'n,
"Not my will, but thine be done." [Refrain]
3 If when this life of labor is ended,
And the reward of the race you have run;
Oh! the sweet rest prepared for faithful,
Will be his blest and final "Well done." [Refrain]
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." [Refrain] Topics: All Souls November 2nd; Funeral Sacraments; Commitment; Courage; Cross; Death; Eternal Life; Redemption; Rest; Service; Witness Used With Tune: WELL DONE
He Understands; He'll Say, "Well Done"
