Chords for When the Toils of Life Are Over (In the New Jerusalem) - Martha Reed Garvin

_ _ _ _ Ruth Steele wrote to me _ and said, to the shortest program on the air,
greetings, isn't that clever?
She says, I so wish your program could be longer.
And she went on and how she gets up very early in the morning where she lives.
I'm on very early in the morning.
Now, she took me right back, and you know what I'm going to say.
When I was a kid in Hannibal, Missouri, Songs of the Sanctuary,
she said, all the songs are favorites of mine,
but one that I haven't heard for a long time is in the New Jerusalem.
We used to sing that a lot, but we don't sing it anymore.
And of course, I know it.
When the toils of life are over and we lay our burdens down.
Sing it with me.
[F] _ _ [Ab] _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [F] When the toils [Gm] of life are over [F] and we lay our burdens down,
[Dm] and we bid [G] farewell to earth [Gm] and all its [C] care,
[A] we will meet and [Dm] greet our loved ones, [Gm] and in Christ we [F] then shall crown
[Bb] in the [Gm] New [F] Jerusalem. _
[Abm] _ [Bb] There we'll be singing, there we'll be shouting, [F] when the saints come marching on
[G] in Jerusalem, [C] _ [Gm] in [Abm] Jerusalem,
[Bb] waving palms of loud hosanna as [E] the king [F] shall take his throne
in the New _ Jerusalem. _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _
Though the way is sometimes lonely, he [A] will hold me with [F] his hand.
[Dm] Through the testings [G] and the trials [Gm] I must [C] go,
[A] but I'll trust and [D] gladly follow, [Bb] and sometimes [F] I'll understand
[Bb] in the New [F] Jerusalem. _
[Abm] _ [Bb] There we'll be singing, there we'll be shouting, [F] when the saints come marching on
[C] in Jerusalem, _ [F] in Jerusalem,
waving [Bb] palms of loud hosanna as [F] the king shall take his throne
in [C] the New [Gm] _ [Bb] Jerusalem.
[F] _
_ _ [C] _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _
And when we join the [Gm] ransomed army in [F] the summer land above,
[Dm] and the face of [G] our Savior [Gm] we behold,
[C] _ [A] we will sing and [Dm] shout forever, [Bb] and we'll grow in [C] perfect love
[Bb] in the New _ [F] Jerusalem.
[Abm] There [Bb] we'll be singing, there we'll be shouting, when [F] the saints come marching on
[C] in Jerusalem, in [Abm] Jerusalem,
[Bb] waving palms of loud hosanna [F] as the king shall take his throne
in [C] the New [F] _ Jerusalem.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ [F] _ _ The New Jerusalem.
