When I've Gone The Last Mile of the Way
1When I've gone the last mile of the journey And the burdens of life are laid down,
I shall stop at the portals of glory And exchange the old cross for a crown;
All my trials will then be forgotton, It will all be one glorious day,
I shall praise the dear Savior forever, When I've gone the last mile of the way.
Chorus
When I've gone (When I have gone) the last mile(gone the last mile)
friends, and sweet heaven(Heaven I view) I view, (Heaven I view),
I shall see (see my dear Lord) my dear Savior (Savior and King)
Who Saved me and guided me thru; (guided me thru)
Heaven's door (Heaven's bright door) will swing open (open will swing)
"Well done" ("Servant well done") He will say, (Jesus will say,)
"Enter in, ("Come enter in,) live forever (forever live),
You have come the last mile of the way." (rough pilgrim way")..
2 Many times when I'm laden with sorrow And my burdens are heavy to bear,
Then I think of that wondrous tomorrow Where I'll know no more heartache or care;
I shall join in that heavenly chorus, Singing glad hallelujahs for aye,
I shall meet all those gone on before me,
When I've gone the last mile of the way.
3. Often times on the road I grow weary And the milestones seem farther apart
But I know my dear Savior is near me, He's been with me since I made the start;
O I know the bright lights of that city Soon will shine out across the dark bay,
And I know my dear Lord will be waiting, When I've gone the last mile of the way.
