Some bright morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away,
To that home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away.
Chorus:
I'll fly away, Oh Glory,
I'll fly away (in the morning),
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away.
When the shadows of this life have gone,
I'll fly away,
Like a bird from these prison walls I'll fly,
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.
Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away,
To a land where joys will never end,
I'll fly away.
