Hallelujah, when I lay my burden down
Oh glory, glo’, hallelu’, when I lay my burden down
I’m goin’ home to, oh, when I lay my burden…

Oh, I’m goin’ home
Live with Jesus, when I lay my burden down

All my troubles will be…
Oh, when I lay my…
Mmm, my troubles, when I lay my burden down

I’m gonna meet my lovin’ mother, when I lay my burden down
I’m gonna meet my…, when I lay my burden down
Glory, glory, mmm, when I lay my burden down
Glory, glory, when I lay my burden down
