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]
