He'll Understand and Say Well Done

Verse 1

If when you give the best of your service, Telling the world that the Savior is come, Be not dismayed when they do not believe you; He understands, he'll say, "Well done."

Chorus

Oh, when I come to the end of my journey, Weary of life and the battle is won; Carrying the staff and the cross of redemption, He'll understand and say, "Well done."

Verse 2

Misunderstood, the Savior of sinners, Hung on the cross; He was God's only Son; Oh! hear him calling his Father in Heaven, "Let not my will, but yours be done."

Verse 3

If when this life of labor in ended, And the reward of the race you have run; Oh! the sweet rest that's prepared for the faithful Will be their blest and last "Well done."

Verse 4

But if you try and fail in your trying, Hands sore and scarred from the work you've begun, Take up your cross and run quickly to meet him; He'll understand, he'll say, "Well done."
