Some glad morning when this life is o'er
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, Oh! Glory)
I'll fly away (In the mornin')
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away (Fly away)
When the shadows of this life have gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars have flown
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, Oh! Glory)
I'll fly away (In the mornin')
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away (Fly away)
(Instrumental Break)
Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, Oh! Glory
I'll fly away (In the mornin')
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away (Fly away)
I'll fly away, Oh! Glory
I'll fly away (In the mornin')
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away (Fly away)
I'll fly away (Fly away)
