Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
The Two Sides Of Sam Cooke
If I walk in the pathway of duty
 If I work ?til the close of the day, Lord
 I shall see the great king in all his beauty
 When I've gone the last mile of the way, Lord, yes sir


 When I?ve gone the last mile of the way, oh yeah
 I shall rest at the close of day
 For I know there are joy awaiting
 When I?ve gone the last mile of the way


 If I were, for Christ to proclaim the glad story, oh Lord
 If I see for his sheep who gone astray, oh Lord
 I am sure he will show me in his glory
 When I've gone the last mile of the way, Lord, yes sir


 When I?ve gone the last mile of the way, oh yes
 I shall rest at the close of day, oh yeah
 For I know, there are joy awaiting
 When I've gone the last mile of the way
