I'll Fly Away lyrics

Some glad morning when this life is over

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

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 shall 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



Yeah, when I die, Hallelujah, by and by

I'll fly away
