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)
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away
(In the morning)
When I die, hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
(I'll fly away)
When the shadows of this life have gone
I'll fly away like a bird from prison bars has flown
I'll fly away
(I'll fly away)
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away
(In the morning)
When I die, hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
(I'll fly away)
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)
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away
(In the morning)
When I die, hallelujah, by and by
I'll fly away
(I'll fly away)
