I
WELL I'VE BEEN OVER MOUNTAINS,
AND I'VE WALKED THRU THE VALLEYS,
AND OF TROUBLES FRIENDS I'VE HAD MY FILL.
BUT HEAVEN ETERNAL, AT THE END OF MY JOURNEY
WILL BE WORTH EVERY MILE OF THE TRIP.
II
WELL I'VE STOOD AT THE BEDSIDE OF A CHRISTIAN, DEPARTING.
AND I'VE HEARD THESE LAST WORDS FROM HIS LIPS.
I SEE THE CRYSTAL STREAMS FLOWING,
I FEEL THE GENTLE, BREEZE BLOWING.
AND ITS WORTH EVERY MILE OF THE TRIP.
CHORUS
LIKE A HAPPY PILGRIM, WHO'S ARRIVED ON THE SHORE.
AND FORGET HOW THE WAVES TOSSED HIS SHIP.
IF I COULD SEE JESUS SMILE, HEAR HIM SAY WELL DONE CHILD
IT'LL BE WORTH EVERY MILE OF THE TRIP.
