THE LAST MILE OF THE WAY-William Edie Marks
The Last Mile of the Way
(or If I Walk in the Pathway of Duty)
1 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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
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.
