When I've gone the last mile of the way, oh yeah
I will rest at the close of day
For I know there are joy awaiting
When I've gone the last mile of the way.
If I walk in the pathway of duty
If I work til the close of the day, Lord
I shall see the great king in all his beauty
When I've gone the last mile of the way.
When I've gone the last mile of the way, oh yeah
I will rest at the close of day
For I know there are joy awaiting
When I've gone the last mile of the way.
If I were, for Christ to proclaim the glad story.
If I seek for all his sheep who gone astray, oh Lord
I am sure he will show me his glory
When I've gone the last mile of the way.
Oh, When I've gone the last mile of the way, oh yes
I will rest at the close of day, oh yeah
And I know, there are joy awaiting
When I've gone the last mile of the way.
Here the dearest of ties we must sever,
Tears of sorrow are seen every day;
But no sickness, no sighing forever,
When I've gone the last mile of the way.
