Telling the world that the Savior is come;
Be not dismayed when men don't 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 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, He'll say, "Well done." [Refrain] Topics: The Christian Life Death and Life Eternal; Funeral Used With Tune: HE UNDERSTANDS
