8. When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder

When the trumpent of the Lord shall sound,
and time shall be nomore,
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;
When the saved of the earth shall gather,
over on the other show,
When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.

* CHORUS
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,
And the glory of His resurrection share;
When His chosen ones shall gather,
to their home beyond the skies,
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there.

Let us labour for the Master,
from the down till setting sun,
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care,
Then, when all of life is over,
and our work on earth is done,
When the roll is called up yonder I’ll be there.
