aka "When I Lay My Burden (s) Down" or "Glory, Glory, Hallelujah". Gospel song, typically sung at funerals. The tune is related to that of Will the Circle Be Unbroken, while the lyrics share some similarities with other spirituals and gospel songs.
The song has many lyrical variations but is mostly just a recurring refrain of -
Glory glory, hallelujah
