Free at last
 (Sung text for setting by J. Perry)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
Free at last, free at last,
I thank God I'm free at last.
Serve you Lord while I have breath,
I thank God I'm free at last.
See my Jesus after death,
I thank God I'm free at last.
Goin' to heav'n and put on my shoes.
I thank God I'm free at last.
I'll walk around and spread the news,
I thank God I'm free at last.
Some of these mornin's, bright and fair,
I'm goin' to meet my Jesus,
'Way in de air.
Free at last, free at last,
I thank God I'm free at last.

    Set to music by Julia Perry (1924 - 1979), "Free at last", spiritual
