when i get to heaven gonna sing and shout, i'm gonna lay down my heavy load

[jjnewton]

i am searching for this song that i sang years ago. it was in a baptist hymnal.

[steve]

This is a wonderful spiritual called "By and By". Here are the words:

Chorus
Oh by and by, by and by
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load;
Oh, by and by, by and by
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load.

1.
I know my robe's gonna fit me well,
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load;
I tried it on at the gates of hell,
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load.

2.
Oh, when I get to heaven, gonna sing and shout,
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load;
There'll be nobody there to turn me out,
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load.

3.
Oh, hell is deep and dark despair,
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load;
Stop, poor sinner, and don't go there,
I'm gonna lay down my heavy load

Hope this is the one. God bless!
Steve
