When I Lay My Burdens Down
E. SMITH GATLIN, HANSEL VIBBERT
When I lay my burdens down some day
Recieve a crown that will never fade away
Tears are wiped from eyes
Hearts bleed no more inside
When I lay my burdens some day
When I lay my burden down some day
I'll say hello to many friends of yesterday
Oh, Heaven's gates will open wide
Recieve me on the other side
When I lay my burdens down some day
Long will be the tears of life I have long
Joy will take their place into
Heaven I have flown
So, up here I will stay and
Be faithful all the way
Till' I lay my burdens down someday
