Jesus wash away my troubles While I'm travelling here below For I got enemies, Lord, you know Jesus, wash away my burdens For they're so hard to bear But I know there's consolation As long as I know you're there Yes it is, yes it is You know sometimes I feel (Like a motherless child) And I'm a long ways from home And you know sometimes I feel (Like I'm almost lost) And I'm a long ways (from home) But Jesus, take me on to Glory Lord, when I die For I know that day is comin' Is comin' by and by
