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.
