Jesus, wash away my troubles While I'm traveling here below For I, I got enemies, Lord, you know And Jesus, wash away my burdens For they are 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 I'm a long way from home You know sometimes I feel like a motherless ghost Still a long way from home But Jesus, take me on to glory Lord, when I, when I die For I know that day is coming Is coming by and by
