LAST MILE OF THE WAY
If I walk in the pathway
of duty,
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.
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.
Here the dearest of ties
we must sever,
Tears of sorrows are seen
every day,
But no sickness, no sighing for ever,
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,
Twill enhance all the rapture
of heaven,
When I’ve gone
the last mile of the way.
