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, O GLORY,

I'LL FLY AWAY.

WHEN I DIE, HALLELUJAH BY AND BY,

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.

JUST A FEW MORE WEARY DAYS AND THEN,

I'LL FLY AWAY.

TO A LAND WHERE JOYS SHALL NEVER END,

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.

I'LL FLY AWAY

"I'LL FLY AWAY" WAS COMPOSED BY ALBERT E. BRUMLEY IN 1932.  THE MUSIC WAS CONSIDERED AS A SOUTHERN GOSPEL SONG FOR SEVERAL DECADES.

BLUEGRASS BANDS AND ARTISTS KEEP THE SONG REVIVED.  GRANDPA JONES AND ROY ACCUFF PERFORMED THE SONG OFTEN AT THE GRAND OLE OPRY THEATER, AND ON  HEEHAW'S TV  PROGRAM.

"I'LL FLY AWAY" WAS ONE OF THE THEME SONGS FOR THE MOVIE "O, BROTHER , WHERE ART THOU." IN THE SPRING OF 2000.

MANY NEWER CHISTIAN HYMNALS HAVE THE SONG LISTED.  "I'LL FLY AWAY" WILL PROBABLY BE WITH US UNTIL WE ALL GET TO "FLY AWAY!"

WYNONNA JUDD AND HER COUNTRY MUSIC BAND RECORDED "I'LL FLY AWAY" IN 2003 AS PART OF HER CHRISTIAN SONG ALBUM.  SHE  AND HER MUSCIAN GROUP ALSO PERFORMED THE SONG AT THE PENTAGON DURING A USO SHOW.  THEY ARE SINGING THE OLD HYMN
