I’LL FLY AWAY, OH GLORY, I’LL FLY AWAY
WHEN I DIE, HALLELUJAH BY AND BY
I’LL FLY AWAY
SOME BRIGHT MORNING WHEN THIS LIFE IS OVER,
I’LL FLY AWAY.
TO A LAND ON GOD’S CELESTIAL SHORE,
I’LL FLY AWAY.
WHEN THE SHADOWS OF THIS LIFE HAVE GROWN,
I’LL FLY AWAY.
LIKE A BIRD FROM THESE PRISON WALLS,
I’LL FLY AWAY.
OH HOW GLAD AND HAPPY WHEN WE MEET,
I’LL FLY AWAY.
NO MORE COLD IRON SHACKLES ON MY FEET,
I’LL FLY AWAY.
I’LL FLY AWAY, OH GLORY I’LL FLY AWAY,
WHEN I DIE, HALLELUJAH BY AND BY
I’LL FLY AWAY
JUST A FEW MORE WEARY DAYS AND THEN
I’LL FLY AWAY
TO A LAND WHERE JOY WILL NEVER END,
I’LL FLY AWAY
,
I’LL FLY AWAY OH GLORY, I’LL FLY AWAY
WHEN I DIE, HALLELUJAH BY AND BY
I’LL FLY AWAY.
