We’ll Soon Be Done with Troubles and Trials

Some of these days I’m going home
Where no sorrows ever come,
(We’ll soon be done)
We’ll soon be done with troubles and trials;
(Troubles and trials)
Safe from Heartaches, pain and care,
We shall all that glory share,
(And I’m gonna)
Sit down beside my Jesus,
(Lord, I’m gonna)
Sit down and rest a little while.

Chorus:
(We’ll soon be done)
We’ll soon be done with troubles and trials,
(Troubles and trials. In that home)
Yes, in that home on the other side,
(On the other side, and I’m gonna)
Shake glad hands with the elders,
(Lord, and)
Tell my kindred good morning,
(Then I’m gonna)
Sit down beside my Jesus,
(Lord, I’m)
Gonna sit down and rest a little while.

Kindred and friends now wait for me,
Soon their faces I shall see,
(We’ll soon be done)
We’ll soon be done with troubles and trials;
(Troubles and trials)
‘Tis a home of Life so fair
And we’ll all be gathered there,
(And I’m gonna)
Sit down beside my Jesus,
(Lord, I’m gonna)
Sit down and rest a little while.
(Chorus:)

I shall behold his blessed face,
I shall feel his matchless grace,
(We’ll soon be done)
We’ll soon be done with troubles and trials;
(Troubles and trials)
O what peace and joy sublime
In that home of love divine,
(And I’m gonna)
Sit down beside my Jesus,
(Lord, I’m gonna)
Sit down and rest a little while.
(Chorus:)

End:
Gonna sit down and rest a little while,
(Gonna sit down and rest a little while.)
