I’ll Fly Away

A brilliant classic hymn about flying away to heaven and being freed from earth's shackles! But does it glorify death, and deny life's goodness? Hear the story of Alfred E. Brumley writing this song and let's look at the lyrics and then sing it together.

LYRICS:

1. 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

I’ll fly away oh glory
I’ll fly away
When I die hallelujah by and by
I’ll fly away

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

3. Oh how glad and happy when we meet
I’ll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
I’ll fly away

4. Just a few more weary days and then
I’ll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
I’ll fly away
