The Last Mile of the Way

by Johnson Oatman, Jr., 1908

"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.

• Refrain:
  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.

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.

Here the dearest of ties we must sever,
Tears of sorrow are seen every day;
But no sickness, no sighing forever,
When I’ve gone the last mile of the way.

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."

“I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” Heb. 13:5

*Personal Note: Karen is my 2nd mother, who married my father 26 years ago. They both were widowed; and in the ministry. She has been a loving grandmother to our three children. 

The Last Mile of the Way
"Following verse one, Johnson identifies Christian service that God will reward: “If for Christ I proclaim the glad story, If I seek for His sheep gone astray,” and later, “And if here I have earnestly striven, And have tried all His will to obey.”
