WHEN I’VE GONE THE LAST MILE

If I walk in the pathway 
of duty,
If I walk till the close of the day
I shall see the King in His beauty,
When I’ve gone
the last mile of the way.

CHORUS
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.

Here the dearest
of ties we must severe
Tears of sorrows are seen
every day,
But no sickness only
singing forever,
When I’ve gone the last
mile of the way.

And if here I have earnestly
striven
And have tried all His will
to obey,
Till I enhance all the rapture
of heaven,
When I’ve gone
the last mile of the way.
