Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →A gospel hymn by Johnson Oatman Jr. depicting the Christian life as a journey and the heavenly reward awaiting the faithful at its end. The recurring image of 'the last mile of the way' frames death as the final step before seeing Christ in glory.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 3
Here the dearest of ties we must sever,
Tears of sorrow are seen everyday;
But no sickness, no sighing forever
When I've gone the last mile of the way.
Verse 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.
