Letra de
Ill Fly Away

A música Ill Fly Away foi escrita em 1929 por Albert E. Brumley e é um dos hinos evangelhos mais conhecidos entre os americanos. Brumley se inspirou na música secular The Prisoners Song para criar um hino que fala sobre a esperança cristã na vida após a morte. A canção se tornou um padrão tanto em cultos religiosos quanto em apresentações de música folk e country.

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

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

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