"The End of the Road" by Mabel Watkins (July 24, 1958)

We enjoy dreaming of the past,

and time is traveling, oh so fast,

We realize we are nearing at last ,

"The End of the Road"

Although many friends we have won,

There is so much work left undone.

Laurels we had hoped to win but we have come

To "The End of the Road"

We have lived our allotted years,

and there will be no pain or fears,

and God will wipe away all tears,

At "The End of the Road"

So thankful we made the first start,

and God created in us a new heart,

And we have tried to do our part,

Ere we reach "The End of the Road"

We are joint heirs to a "New Home"

With Christ sitting upon the throne,

and on His "New Earth" we shall roam,

At "The End of the Road"

Re-united - what a grand jubilee,

And, oh what glory that will be

When the fact of our God we shall see

At "The End of the Road"
