Soon Ah Will Be Done

"Soon Ah Will Be Done" is a deeply moving traditional spiritual that looks forward to the day when earthly trials will finally pass away. With its famous refrain longing to be "done a-wid de troubles ob de worl'," the song carries a profound sense of hope and weariness, looking toward the peace of a heavenly home.

In the choir loft, this piece is a beloved staple for concerts, special choral presentations, and times of reflection. The arrangement builds through rich, layered harmonies, moving from the solemn promise of leaving worldly sorrows behind to the joyful anticipation of meeting loved ones and Jesus. For both the singers and the congregation, it serves as a comforting reminder of the eternal rest that awaits beyond this life.
