I like this one. We sang it at my mother's memorial service. That's one
thing I'm adamant about - no funerals; just a memorial service and
celebration of my life.

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. (In the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye,
I'll fly away.

When the shadows of this life are gone,
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. (In the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye,
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, O Glory,
I'll fly away. (In the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye

According to the website where I found the lyrics, Johnny Cash wrote it.
I've loved the song for years, but didn't know that.

Joy, Albert E. Brumley wrote I'll Fly Away in 1929. Johnny Cash
recorded it, but didn't write it.

Hugs and Purrs,

Nan and the Furkids

That makes sense. I was surprised when I read that he had written it,
because I thought sure I'd have noticed that in the hymnal if that were the
case.
