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.

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.

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

Here the dearest of ties we must sever,
Tears of sorrow are seen ev�ry day;
But no sickness, no sighing forever,
When I�ve gone the last mile of the way.

Refrain

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
