188. When the Roll Is Called up Yonder

1
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 shore
 
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
 
When the roll … is called up yonder,
 
We’ll be filled … with joy and wonder,
 
When we see … that blood bought number,
 
Some from every tribe and nation will be there.
2
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.
3
Let us live to please the Savior from the dawn 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
 
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there.
