When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder

Words by James M. Black, 18933 verses

Organ, every verse, the words light up as you sing. Tune: When the Roll is Called Up Yonder.

When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair;When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shoreAnd the roll is called up yonder I'll be there.

Refrain, after each verseWhen 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,And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.

Let me labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,Let me talk of all his wondrous love and care,Then, when all of life is over, and my work on earth is done,And the roll is called up yonder I'll be there.
