I found these lyrics at the Peter Paul and Mary website, http://www.peterpaulandmary.com/music/f-03-08.htm. Note that they're copyrighted by PP&M, and that the Traditional Ballad Index shows the earliest known recording was Pete Seeger's 1961 record. Seems to me this ought to be traditional, but maybe it's a compilation of traditional phrases? Note that the Traditional Ballad Index has cross-referenced to a number of traditional songs.

ALL MY TRIALS
Yarrow/Stookey/Okun- Pepamar Music Inc. ASCAP


All my trials Lord, soon be over.

I had a little book was given to me,
And every page spelled Liberty.
All my trials Lord, soon be over.

If religion were a thing that money could buy,
The rich would live and the poor would die.
All my trials Lord, soon be over.

Too late my brothers, too late, but never mind.
All my trials Lord, soon be over.

There is a tree in Paradise
The Pilgrims call it "The Tree Of Life"
All my trials Lord, soon be over.

Too late my brothers, too late, but never mind.
All my trials Lord, soon be over.
All my trials Lord, soon be over.
