The Last Mile of the Way Lyrics & Chords

written by Johnson Oatman, Jr.

(D)If I walk in the pathway of (A)duty,
If I work till the close of the (D)day,
I shall see the great King in His (G)beauty,
When I’ve (D)gone the last (A)mile of the (D)way.

Chorus
(D)When I’ve gone the last mile of the (A)way,
I will rest at the close of the (D)day;
And I know there are joys that (G)await me,
When I’ve (D)gone the last (A)mile of the (D)way.

(D)If for Christ I proclaim the glad (A)story,
If I seek for His sheep gone (D)astray,
I am sure He will show me His (G)glory,
When I’ve (D)gone the (A)last mile of the (D)way.

(D)Here the dearest of ties we must (A)sever,
Tears of sorrow are seen every (D)day;
But no sickness, no sighing for(G)ever,
When I’ve (D)gone the last (A)mile of the (D)way.

(D)And if here I have earnestly (A)striven,
And have tried all His will to o(D)bey,
’Twill enhance all the rapture of (G)heaven,
When I’ve (D)gone the last (A)mile of the (D)way.
