Lyrics
Stanza 1
My trials will soon be over,
I'll cross the chilly Jordan and die,
Somewhere in Heaven's city,
I'll sit me down,
Sit me down,
I'll weather the day,
Stanza 2
In crown of glory,
I'll shout and tell the happy story,
My hard trials will soon be over,
And I shall wear a crown,
Stanza 3
Lord, I'm tired,
I'm tired,
Stanza 4
My trials will soon be over,
And soon the Lord is gonna come for me,
And I'll be Heaven-bound,
Then I'll fly,
Through the sky,
Stanza 5
Hard trials will soon be over,
And I shall wear a crown,
Stanza 6
The road I walk is often rugged,
The load I bear is often heavy,
But soon I know,
My feet shall stand upon higher ground,
Higher ground,
Stanza 7
With near and dear I'll leave behind me,
I'll shout and say goodbye to trouble,
My hard trials will soon be over,
And I shall wear a crown,
Stanza 8
Lord, I'm tired,
I'm tired,
Stanza 9
And soon the Lord is gonna come for me,
And I'll be Heaven-bound,
Then I'll fly,
Through the sky,
Stanza 10
Hard trials will soon be over,
And I shall wear a crown,
Stanza 11
Well, I'm tired,
So tired,
Stanza 12
And soon the Lord is gonna come for me,
And I'll be Heaven-bound,
Then I'll fly,
Hard trials will soon be over,
Stanza 13
Hard trials will soon be over,
And I shall wear a crown,
Stanza 14
Well, I'm tired,
I'm tired,
And soon the Lord is gonna come for me,
And I'll be Heaven-bound,
Then I'll fly,
Stanza 15
Hard trials will soon be over,
Hard trials will soon be over,
And I shall wear a crown,
Stanza 16
Wear a crown,
Wear a crown.
