Refrain: Free at last, free at last, I thank God I’m free at last. Free at last, free at last, I thank God I’m free at last.
1 ’Way down yonder in the graveyard walk, I thank God I’m free at last, Me and my Jesus goin’ to meet and talk, I thank God I’m free at last. O [Refrain]
2 On-a my knees when the light pass’d by, I thank God I’m free at last, Tho’t my soul would rise and fly, I thank God I’m free at last, O [Refrain]
3 Some of these mornings, bright and fair, I thank God I’m free at last, Goin’ to meet King Jesus in the air, I thank God I’m free at last. [Refrain]
