1. If when you give the best of your service,
Telling the world that the Savior is come,
Be not dismayed when they do not believe you;
He understands, he'll say, "Well done."
Refrain:
Oh, when I come to the end of my journey,
Weary of life and the battle is won;
Carrying the staff and the cross of redemption,
He'll understand and say, "Well done."
2. Misunderstood, the Savior of sinners,
Hung on the cross; He was God's only Son;
Oh! hear him calling his Father in Heaven,
"Let not my will, but yours be done."
3. If when this life of labor in ended,
And the reward of the race you have run;
Oh! the sweet rest that's prepared for the faithful
Will be their blest and last "Well done."
4. But if you try and fail in your trying,
Hands sore and scarred from the work you've begun,
Take up your cross and run quickly to meet him;
He'll understand, he'll say, "Well done."
