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
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

And if here I have endlessly striven and have tried on his will to obey
Willing hand fall after of heaven when I've gone the last mile of the way
When I've gone the last mile...
