1. If when you give the best of your service,
Telling the world that the Savior is come,
Be not dismayed when they do not 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 Heaven,
"Let not my will, but yours be done." [Refrain]
3. If when this life of labor in ended,
And the reward of the race you have run;
Oh! the sweet rest that's prepared for the faithful
Will be their blest and last "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 and run quickly to meet him;
He'll understand, he'll say, "Well done." [Refrain]
