(m...)Most done toiling here, O bretheren,
(m...)And I'm most done toiling here, O bretheren,
(m...)Most done toiling here, O bretheren,
(m...)And I'm most done toiling here.

1 I love to shout, I love to sing.
Most done toiling here.
I love to praise my Heav'nly King.
Most done toiling here. [Refrain]

2 Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
Most done toiling here.
Sometimes I'm almost on the ground.
Most done toiling here. [Refrain]

3 O, I haven't been to Heaven but I've a been told,
Most done toiling here.
The streets in Heaven are paved with gold.
Most done toiling here. [Refrain]
