13. He'll Understand and Say, "Well Done"

1 If when you give the best of your service,
Telling the world that the Saviour has 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;
Car’ing the staff and cross of redemption,
He'll understand and say "Well done."

2 Misunderstood, the Saviour of sinners,
Hung on the cross; He was God’s only Son;
Oh! hear Him call His Father in heaven,
“Let not my will, but Thine be done.”

3 If when this life of labor is ended,
And the reward; of the race you have run;
Oh! take the sweet rest prepared for faithful,
Will be His blest, and final, “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, run quickly to meet Him,
He’ll understand, He’ll say, “Well done.”
