Introduction

Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write about hymns, instruments, recipes, and animals.

Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, I'll Fly Away; it was written by Albert E. Brumley in 1929 and was published for the first time in 1932.

If you don't know how the tune goes, look up Alan Jackson or Folksandhymns.

Now, on with the show!

The Lyrics

Verse 1 

Some glad morning when this life is o'er, I'll fly away;

To that home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away.

Chorus

I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away;

When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away.

Verse 2 

When the shadows of this life have grown, I'll fly away;

Like a bird from prison walls has flown, I'll fly away.

Chorus

I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away;

When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away.

Verse 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.

Chorus

I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away;

When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away.

Verse 4 

Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away;

To a land where joy shall never end, I'll fly away.

Chorus

I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away;

When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away.

Afterwards

It really is a nice song, though Alan Jackson skipped half of it. 

It is one of my favorite songs, and I hope that you like it too. 

If you believe in Jesus, you have the hope of flying away to be with Jesus when you die; if you don't love Jesus, then you will go to Hell.

Accept Jesus into your heart today, and experience the love and joy that He brings into your life.

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily whit

A Kalimba, Ocarina, and Native American Flute      Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where my main thing is hymns.

In fact, every hymn I like is one of the best hymns in the world; funny how that works. If you don't how the tune goes, go to YouTube and look up Alan Jackson, or Folksandhymns.  Now, on with the show! A bridge   The Lyrics  Verse 1  Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer! That calls me from a world of care, And bids me at my Father's throne  Make all my wants and wishes known. In seasons of distress and grief, My soul has often found relief; And oft' escaped the tempter's snare  By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! Verse 2  Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I share, Of those whose anxious spirits burn With stro
