When the Roll is Called Up Yonder
James M. Black 1893.
When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more
And the morning breaks eternal bright and clear
The chosen ones will gather over on the other shore
When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder,
When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise
In the glory of his resurrection
The saints of God will gather over on the other shore
When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
Let us labor for the master from dawn to setting sun
Let us talk of his wondrous love and care
When all of life is over and our work on earth is done
When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
