1 If when you give the best of your service, Telling the world that the Savior has come; Be not dismayed when friends won’t believe you; He’ll understand, and say “well done.”

Refrain: Oh, when I come to the end of my Journey, weary of life, and the battle is won. Carr’ing 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 call His father in heaven, “Not my will, but thine be done.” [Refrain]

3 If when this life of labor is ended, And the reward of the race you have run; Oh! the sweet rest prepared for the faithful, Will be His blest and final “well done.” [Refrain]

4 But if you try and fail in your trying, Hands sore and scarred from the work you’ve begun; Take up your cross, run quickly to meet Him, He’ll understand, and say “well done.” [Refrain]
