I’ll Fly Away 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, O Glory, I’ll fly away When I die, Hallelujah, by and by I’ll fly away

When the shadows of this life have grown, I’ll fly away Like a bird from prison bars has flown, I’ll fly away

O how glad and happy when we meet, I’ll fly away No more old iron shackles on my feet, I’ll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then, I’ll fly away To a land where joys shall never end, I’ll fly away

When the roll is called up yonder, When the roll is called up yonder, When the roll is called up yonder, When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there
